You sure do get to some stunning looking places!
yes, the Pacific Northwest is full of stunning places! Lucky to be here for a while!

Gorgeous. Reminds me of Big Sur. I saw a whale blowing from where I was sitting, eating a sandwich at Esalen.
That was how we saw whales around Christmas down in Crescent City (Northern CA). We bought sandwiches and went to the park at the beach. Watched whales while eating a late lunch. We were so excited that I actually forgot to take pictures (imagine that :tongue:)
 
I grabbed the Canon Powershot I had back then and rattled off this shot...

wow, that one was really close to shore! Nice! I had to crop quite a lot even at 300mm...


I'm afraid the bird is saying, "Ok, you want to take my picture? Well s..t on you!"

yes, that's pretty much it. We didn't take it personally though... :tongue:
