During December of last year, I wrote several posts about the Adelaide Port River dolphins featuring amazing photos and information from Paul and Debbie Huxtable, a pair of fabulous wildlife photographers who live in Adelaide, South Australia and post many great photos on their Adelaide Port River dolphins website. This week I received an email… [read more]
Have a whale of a Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there whether you are feathered, finned, furry or footed!

Great photo of a fin whale’s asymmetrical jaw coloring
This is an aerial shot of a fin whale, the second largest baleen whale and the fastest. It’s a great photo because it shows the asymmetrical coloring of the fin whale’s lower jaw. Take a close look on the left (your left, the whale’s right) and you can see the white coloring all along the… [read more]

It just so happens that I’m taking a writing class to expand my skills and increase my creative repertoire.

The whales of Moby Dick part 1
I’m finally reading Moby Dick for the first time in my life. It was never assigned reading during my entire educational experience and I never got around to reading it post-college. And then the book club I joined last fall decided they wanted to read Moby Dick and as the whale enthusiast in the group… [read more]
More killer whale photos
Finally, here are the rest of my killer whale photos! One of the questions everyone asked me after the trip was: “How close did the killer whales get to the boat?” The photo on the left captured the answer: very close. When these two whales surfaced directly in front of the boat there was a… [read more]
