Whale watching near Sayulita, Mexico

We went on an “eco-discovery/snorkeling experience” with Sayulita enTOURage this morning. We saw whales, but the conditions weren’t great for them. We didn’t get anything like the photos or videos on their website (no cresting or lobtailing), but it was still fun to see whales in the wild for the first time.

The shot I took of the squadron from my hotel room was far less dangerous than this one I took from the beach.

I saw this bird flying over one of Copenhagen’s lakes a few summers ago.

Bald Eagle in Beatty, Oregon

I processed today’s photo in the Narita Airport. Tokyo is under a thick cloud cover, and the humidity is high (even in the airport). I can barely see the planes on the runway with all of the white outside. The forecast for Fukuoka tomorrow is no better.

This bald eagle (and its mate) had a nest at a friend’s ranch that we visited last weekend. Unfortunately, I only had my 24-120mm lens with me. I think I could have obtained some really cool images if I had my 70-300mm lens (or 70-200mm with 1.7X teleconverter).
