The heavy snowfall this past winter means snow is still on the ground in many places, but the spring thaw is definitely underway.
A busy month of photography festivals, testing my new Sony a1 camera and photographing Yukon wildlife as we finally start to thaw out from a long winter.

Today I’m packing my bags to fly south to Vancouver from the Yukon. I’ll spend a couple of days running some errands around the city and catching up with some friends and then I’m taking a series of three different ferries to end up on Hornby Island where I’ll be freediving with sea lions for a few days. Hornby Island is a small island in the Straight of Georgia, between Vancouver Island and the British Columbian mainland.
