Whale Portside!
Spotted the first whale back of my life!
Down Tail
A whale begins to dive in the Inside Passage
Whale Wave
Long Back
I've never seen a back this long on any living thing
Tail Flip
The High Five
The tail of the whale was preparing its final dive pose
Flying V
Lost Tail
The tail of the whale was nearly gone
Joke Watchers
During moments of down time between "seeing" birds, the watchers mingled
Crystal Scope
No doubt these scopes had to cost more than their tickets for this ride
Retirement Hobby
A well earned hobby in the final frontier
Sailing Buddies
Separated by language, united under hopes for adventure
Ship's Call
Sadly I never got to hear this bell ring. A proper symbol of sailing the seas
Mega Lens
Maybe I had a little bit of lens envy but seriously...who could backpack with THAT sucker!
Air Meets Stone Meets Sea
Here at the Inside Passage of Alaska, Air Meets Stone Meets Sea
Target Acquired
The scopes on the front of this ship were outrageous. Great people watching watching birds
Blue Skies
Skies as open as the opportunity ahead
Lone Watcher
I wonder what this guy saw that the others did not. I don't think he appreciated my taking his picture
Salty Scope
I wonder how many birds that scope has spotted
Fishing Alone
A fishing boat far away from any port
Cloud Burst
Massive spanse of sky along the Inside Passage
Hooded Savior
This fellow traveler would play a pivotal part in the Walkabout. But who is he?
Spout Run
Off the ship's side I spotted this whale spout and I kept the secret to myself.
