Downtown Baltimore

I'm a little late. Caught this big fish on the way to work Friday 8/14...the day after our ore-season defeat of the Cardinals.

Palamalu in Boston!

Been a while since I posted a sighting. There are simply too many in my DC/Baltimore corridor. But, I'm on vacation in Boston now. And this morning, a family walked past us at a historic site. The son, about 10-iss, was wearing a Palamalu tee-shirt. I said out loud, Palamalu! and the kid looked around with a big smile. I gave a thumbs up as we went on our way and they on there's.

Odd Bits - More from Whale Watching

The Naturalist on this trip tells us that they ID whales from the markings on their tales. Ursa, in front, and Terrace, further away, are hunting together. Ursa's tale shows signs of an Orca attack. Look for scratch mark, like striations, near the center on the right hand tale fin.

Odd Bit -Whale Watching at Stellwagen Bank

Ballene whale comes up for dinner off the New England coast. Took over 200 pictures on this trip. Look for more at my flickr site, after Vicki and I return from vacation.

Is damn tempting to not return!

Vacation is Hard Work

Here’s my view off the back porch of friends John and Kayla’s Westport, MA home.  

I did have to wait for the teenagers to quit arguing over who’s turn was next, but it was worth the wait.

Odd Bit-Jersey Turnpike

So, I admit we left later than we planned. But we also didn't really think this out going to NY City on a Sunday means being in going home from the beach traffic. A 4 hour trip is looking like it will be every inch of 7 and we're only 5 into it at this point.
