Hundreds of sea lions gathered for the herring spawn on Vancouver Island this year. It attracted orcas, of course. Bald eagles, shorebirds, ducks and gulls enjoyed the feast as well.

All images and footage in this video were taken from the shore. I organize photo tours on land each year during the herring spawn if you're interested...

Artist’s Statement: “As a fine artist and a hairstylist plaiting hair has always been part of my life. Over the years it has my area of research and art practice.I am fascinated by arrangements, patterns, and different textures. My mission has always been more than making women beautiful, I am committed through my work to portray a sense of confidence and contentment and reflect issues of shame, stereotypes and insults relating to hair, African hair.

In my work, I use a wide range of mediums from linocut, etching, paper making and synthetic hair on paper. With my etchings and linocuts, I present the timeous and laborious process that I go through when plaiting hair. Hair can be a symbol of one’s identity it has the power to dictate how a person is seen.”
