Monterey Bay is alive and well

Yesterday we went out on the boat into the bay, it was just hopping with activity.

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.

Very Very Cool #1 of course, I want one too :thumb

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

Orca Butt & Gray whale Butt where's this all going :lol4 :lol4

Oh and I like the shore/rock shot, nice crop, tone :thumb

That must have been fun! Lots of whale action, I need to do that someday.

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

Marvelous Ed. :clap You even added a new butt shot to our ever growing collection. :D It must be a real thrill to be able to see these guys.

Fantastic images... you are very fortunate to have such beauty in your waters!

[ehughes]

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':dunno
