My entry is of the sunrise, this morning at 6:30 AM, today is August 20, 2013, this day is the day of the full moon, apparently it is called a blue moon, my ancestor gathered together with other leaders of the time to discuss important events of the coming of the white man, on this day my white wolf (Hybrid) howled during the night for the first time, we walk together each morning watching for the sunrise, it is a very quiet time of the day, time to ponder my days events, and thank the creator for this day, as we do for each morning, my name is Laxiya (Dave Bodaly) I am from Snuneymuxw First Nation on Vancouver Island and this photo is taken on the ancestral grounds of Abraham Johnny, my grand father, since time in memorial his ancestors have always lived here, as I walk through these fields, I enjoy taking pictures of the quiet of the day, the first light, and this is my connection to the earth.

Sta'Kay'Ulth is now eight months old and he continues to grow, and have fun everyday, I started leaving him at home for the day, usually for just a few hours, he seems to be adjusting to his new home without me.  I will be moving back to the land soon, as this Sunday the clocks jump ahead 1 hour, it will be spring in 2 weeks, and the weather is getting warmer everyday, I will soon say good bye to my winter home address and moving on to my own location, this will be the last year I will be staying away from my land for the winter season, I anticipate doing allot of work with regards to building a weatherproof location on the land, this winter season has taught me so much about survival and it is now time to move on to new experiences for the summer season.  I am still keeping a close eye on Sta'Kay'Ulth to see if I should get him fixed, sooner or later, he still seems to be a pup in many ways.  Taking this into account and helping me decide when or even if I s

The White Wolf On May 6, 2012 after hearing about a wolf being spotted at the land, while driving home with Kay, we seen it run across the road close to the house, as we arrived in the yard we both seen it at the side of the house, I snapped a couple of pictures and followed it to the back of the house, where I took the best picture ever of her looking back at me.  Little did I know that this would be the start of something so amazing, that words can not describe what thoughts and messages are being brought to us. This is the night of the full moon.  After searching for the wolf and getting a few more pictures, I headed to the camp, when I heard the howling of this wolf from down below in the woods, instantly a very strong message came to me, and within a few minutes the White Wolf appeared from down below the camp. I took this photo of her as she was looking up towards the moon. In First Nations Culture seeing a wolf is very sacred, seeing a white wolf is a sign of the h

Within a few seconds it flew off into the sky, I will never forget the feeling of this event, it is very sacred to hold one in your hand like this
