72 hours away from home, at my second home

fair warning: there WILL be more WHALE photos and video – watching the right whales feed was simply hypnotic; stumbling across the harbour seal pup was soooooooooooooo nice, but had me all in a tizzy about how close you can get to it (signs, and info on various websites warn against getting too close, without ever defining a reasonable distance); spotting the finback as the sun was beginning to set was amazing; watching it all with my sweet sweet man just makes it all the more wonderful.

North Atlantic Right Whales – April 30, 2011, Provincetown (testing this format for the iPad)

know your rights! all 101 of them

Great photos from Division of Marine Fisheries biologist Erin Burke, who took several photos of endangered right whales spotted off the coast of Provincetown the other day, when 28-30 right whales were spotted. But then yesterday, about 101 of the animals were spotted in an aerial survey!!!

Oh f*ck I wish I was there!

The other thing that i think is cool is that because of the amount plankton in the area, they can predict these wonderful creatures will be around for another week before the plankton runs thin and the whales move on. If yer up in the area, get out to Herring Cove, Race Point, Truro, or wherever, with your camera, please!
