“The Breach” – Chileno Beach
This is an amazing painting of Ed Lehming’s own photo. His blog has fascinating photos. He just came back from a whale watching trip and took photos of my favorite mammal – the Humpback, singing, whale!

This is on my bucket list. We had a trip planned to Maine, but alas health issues got in the way. I would prefer to see them in Hawaii, though. 😉

We were in Maine on one trip, didn’t think of doing whale watching. We did it in CA when my daughter and her hubby came for OR, but didn’t get that close. Ed, the painter, said they got so close once, that the photo was blurry!!
