Whales of the Day

This is pretty awesome.  The Northeast Fisheries Science Center is a research arm of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, with research stations located in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Washington, DC.  These are aerial photos they've taken of different types of whales (and dolphins) along the east coast.

These are just wonderful... especially with all that blue water contrasting against your green background. Really cool.

Grins & giggles for a divine weekend,
