Whales!

I shot these off the coast of Massachusetts today, perfect day, lots of whales including a mother and her playful calf, breaching humpback whales shooting most of the way out of the water, feeding whales.

Wow! They are beautiful photos. It looks like you were almost close enough to touch them!

Just about. I had to clean the camera lens every few minutes with the mother and her calf. They were splashing water everywhere.

Hey, Jeff! We went out of Gloucester, guessing 8 - 10 miles into the Atlantic. Still pretty coastal. I picked up the very faint Boston skyline in one of the shots.
