Cool party trick.

Love the bald eagle shots!

Overloaded week this week but now that it is over, we are heading out to Monterey Bay for a few days. Hoping 'my' whales put on a good show. I have missed them.

Lucky, lucky you ............... enjoy!

Have fun, Maureen.

We took the 5 pm whale watch today & saw about 5 lunge feelings from 7 whales. On either end, 2 whales were breaching while 150 dolphins were right beside the boat. I didn't take a single picture but just enjoyed the show as I really couldn't decide where to point the camera. Going out again in the morning. The marine layer was thick today (everything would have looked black & gray) so hoping for some clearing tomorrow.

For those interested, they have been busy all year filming the marine life here in Monterey & it will air on PBS Aug 31-Sept 2. The previews look stunning so I hope you all watch it with your kids/family. I believe it is titled Big Blue.

Sounds like fun Maureen! we went out on a Puffin watch Thursday afternoon.....the fog was pea soup and we saw ONE Puffin! LOL He did a flyby and the whole boat exploded with applause......I think he like the attention, so he did another flyby before disappearing into the fog. Needless to say because it was so wet, the camera didn't come with me. We just enjoyed the boat ride and the ONE Puffin! LOL The boat line gave us all a voucher for another Puffin watch for next year, so it was well worth it.
I'm keeping an eye on the sky today. We may go to Bangor to the marsh and see if we can get the Great Egrets before they fly out.

Hi, haven't been around for ages - glad to see the thread is still alive. Will be spending some time reading to catch up so apologies for not commenting on anything yet!

I have been busy with a poorly horse for most of my free time for the last month. Somehow he managed to injure a leg and had five days in equine hospital followed by box rest and is just (this week) back on restricted turn out. For a young horse he has been surprisingly good - but as he was only allowed out if someone was holding onto him I have spent a lot of time standing in fields! I won't post any photos of the injury but have a few phone pics (sorry if quality is rubbish) of the story so far.

Hey Emma! So sorry to hear this about the horse.
These injuries sure can be a challenge. Slow to heal.
At least there seems to be no infection in it.
I had a mare that had a puncture chip a bone in her fetlock joint and it got infected. We ended up doing surgery in my barn, and then it was complete stall rest, wraps and antibiotic shots for quite some time. I wish you the best as you deal with this! And best wishes for your buddy!!! <3

It's never good when your baby is hurting! There are worse things to have to do than stand out in a field. It makes you a farmer!

At the last vet visit we discovered that my fur baby is sensitive to vaccinations. She has grown a lump where she received her first round of shots. So now I have to monitor her, spread the rest of the shots out to two week intervals, and possibly have the lump removed if it does not resolve after three months. Fortunately, the vaccination manufacturer will pay for any treatment needed. But, in the meantime, it will take an additional 4 weeks to get all the shots taken care of. And then, after that, I can get her fixed. Hopefully she behaves herself and doesn't get pregnant!

Hope the horse continues to improve, Emma & nice to see you back.

Monterey was awesome; probably saw over 50 breachings but the sky was overcast & the same color gray as the water so it made the pictures difficult. I didn't photograph much but I will share a couple of close encounters. These are not cropped & on a full frame body!!!!
