Thanks, everyone! I’ve been out of touch and it was nice to log on and see all these comments. It was a fabulous experience to see these whales and their avian buddies.

Jan this is truly fantastic… I know how hard it is to capture one of these whales, I have been trying for 3 years and only this past summer was I able to capture a few shots like this. This is remarkable with the birds, just fantastic… well done.
