Yeah, I’m the king of foggy and mysterious! The top one reminded me of LOTR.

Ok. This guy’s gig is to come out near cruise ships and play a song on his trumpet, start the boat again, run up just a little ahead of the cruise ship, then do it again. He played Oh, Canada, then the Star Spangled Banner, then When the Saints Come Marching In, America the Beautiful, and a religous song that I forget the name of now… Not sure of the order , but it was quite a quirky event. The other side of the sign he hits you up for a buck each, payable online, I guess. Go to his website http://www.alertbaytrumpeter.com/ and check it out! It’s a heck of a way to make a living!

We went whale watching near Juneau Alaska. It was frickin awesome. This is a group of humpback whales working co-operatively to get their meal of herring by bubble netting them. Two or three members of the group go underneath the herring and blow basketball size bubbles near the school. The herring get nervous and ball up. Then other whales from the group come up through the middle of the ball and eat the herring. Here are 5 or so whales with their mouths open at the surface after going through the herring. It was an awesome display! More pics later. I’m moving 2800 or so images from the laptop to my main computer even as I blog.
