I got to spend a couple of weeks in Alaska in June and had the good fortune to witness cooperative feeding humpbacks on two occasions near Tenakee Arm. I hope I captured some of the thrill.

    Wow, some really cool shots! In some of those, there's so much going on that it's hard to tell which whale part is which...very interesting. #2 and 7-11 are my favorites. Heck, I like them all. Good job!

    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!"

    Yep. Lindblad Expeditions. Outstanding cruise line. 60-70 passenger boat. They always have naturalists on board. Lots of hiking, kayaking during the trip. You need to be handy with a checkbook :)
