.... Crowd-sourcing pictures since I can't always take my camera out when I'm working!
Every once in awhile, something spectacular happens on a whale watch that makes me mentally kick myself for not bringing my camera. A few weeks ago that something was an adolescent female Orca who was hamming it up and even breaching! Luckily, the folks I had taken out that day were decent photographers and had pretty nice cameras and were incredibly sweet in that they asked to send me some of their photos. Of course I said yes!
The following pictures were all take by that family, sadly I can claim credit for none of these. Next time!
