I often hear, “Wow!” as the whales burst through the surface. Usually, the shouts and pointing help me locate the whales to capture with my camera.

I’ve had a fantastic fall season of camera captures of so much going on at our shore. You’ll see for yourself in my latest photo essay: Whales, Shore Life—It's All Good For Your Life.

Be well,
