Many really interesting wildlife photos are the result of the right place and right time. And many more you do not know that you have until they are enlarged on a computer screen. This photo was taken when several orca passed beneath the boat and I snapped a series of photos with my fingers crossed. The enlargement shows a calf tucked by its mother’s side. As a mother swims quickly through the water, she forms something called a ‘slipstream’ next to her body as the water rushes past her. If the baby is inside this slipstream, he or she will be carried along with mom.
