One of my favorite moments I’ve ever photographed! This is T19B “Galiano” in “Airplane Mode”. He’s one of the biggest males in the population and it took me almost 8yrs to see him breach. A bucketlist shot for me!

Affirmation Coyote knows Tuesday suck. You just get through Monday and dang, 4 more days of the grind.

But you can do it, just like you've made it through all the Tuesdays.

It's also National Hugging Day. If you don't have someone to hug, you have permission to imagine hugging Affirmation Coyote.

Here’s 56 seconds of a mom and baby humpback whale.

The difference between Dolphins in Sea World and those in the Ocean is freedom

Sweet dreams, little lobo pup ❤️

Where have all the species gone?

Soon we will just have a world of human, their livestock and pets as humans terminate life on Earth
Animals have disappeared at a rate of 30 to 120 times that of any other point in the last 66 million years.

Five years, multiple deaths: what is happening at the home of the last captive whales in Canada? Ontario’s Marineland lost five belugas last year, which the park’s management puts down to the ‘circle of life’. But activists claim animal welfare is at stake

An international treaty banning the capture, transport, & imprisonment of whales, dolphins, seals, walrus, & all other marine mammals w/significant mandatory economic & military sanctions is critically needed

🐋 #Whales may be capable of extreme longevity ‼️ but years of industrial whaling cut many of their live short, hiding their ability to live to ages of well over a century 😮

Countries like Iceland & Japan must immediately stop hunting our #ocean giants ❌

You knocked down Monday, did what you had to do, and made it to the finish line.

Affirmation Coyote is proud.

I posted this some time ago but I think it needs reposting

While it's not the best whale image we've ever taken, it's still pretty awesome when your very first orca photo of the year is a Southern Resident killer whale. That's J16 Slick off the west side of San Juan Island on January 10.
