This is a new blog for me: a place to explore my voice while writing about travel, food, and wine. Thanks for stopping by. As you can see, I’m still tidying this little online venue to my liking.

The Tease
My newfound fascination with marine mammals started last fall on my first whale watching tour in Victoria, BC. I’ll have more to share on the topic soon. For now, enjoy this photo of a spyhopping orca taken by my photographer husband, Mike Russell.
