    Great shots Ed. I'm envious of your location. Wow, what a great place to shoot. I have been out there a couple of times before my obsession with photography got rekindled. Oh well, I hope to get out that way some time in the not too distant future.

    Harry mentioned that he's becoming quite concerned about the recent butt fetish going on around here, and now I can see why :wow

    Great pictures!
    I must live on the wrong side of the country. For example, here's an image from our whale watch trip yesterday, as we were leaving the deceptivly calm Gloucester Harbour.

    It would be really nice if you could send some of that nice blue sky and sea over here :D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks folks, just to show you how really close these came to us.

    The three of them were umm, " taking care " of a Harbor Seal. Our captains are great at finding action in the bay, I'd highly reccommend them if you are in the Moss Landing area. If you are ever heading that way drop me a line and I'll get you to the right folks. I'm not sure I should post a link to their web site here.

    The Orcas came to us, they were going back and forth uder the boat for quite a while.

    All of these are excellet! I love the bight colors and the sharpness. I wish I lived somewhere a bit more exciting. Ohio does not have a whole lot to offer. But we do have a few places, just cant afford to drive to em'ne_nau.gif
