These photos were taken during Saturday afternoons trip on 8/18/12. This is one of our new calves from this season. This calf's mom was identified as a whale named Scylla. These pics didn't come out as good or clear as I'd hoped, but I still consider them keepers.

#1 - This was the first breach. Thankfully I somehow had my camera at the right place at the right time to catch it!

Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Wow, Mandy! Junior seems to think it's a mini-rocket being launched at sea! Great shots!

Thanks, don't mind at all. These were taken off the coast of Massachusettes on their feeding ground known as Stellwagen Bank.

Thanks! This calf is a little superstar. I hope to see it for years to come.
