Wanna see more like this- consider a trip to Baja California in February or early March. There are tens of thousands of california Gray Whales in the lagoons on the west side of Baja. These animals often come right up to the boat- the newly born babies are super curious and like you to scruff their skin which is like wet rubber. The parasites attach to them within a few days of their birth and apparently itch. You will be 2 feet from a whale with it looking right back at you. The mommas keep their eye on you and occasionally let you know that you should be nice to their baby by lifting the whole friggin boat clear of the water. They are not scary- they are wonderful. Anyone afraid of a little raw nature is surely a pathetic creature. There are miracles on the planet other than us.

SmugMug is as slow as molasses compared to Flickr. It's a nice option, but I've never found it efficient when looking through large portfolios.
