Took some pretty good shots of humpback whales today--went on a tour over the southeast end of Stellwagen Bank with my dad and my kids, Chloe and Christopher. I'll post more, but here are some examples--lots of breaching, whales jumping completely out of the water in some cases. Crazy stuff, but tough to shoot because you never knew where they were going to spring through the surface and into the air. Along the way Chloe and I saw a huge sea turtle swimming along about 10 miles southeast of Gloucester.
We also saw my favorite whale of all, Cajun--with her bud Pele--cruising along like they owned the place.
