Hints on how A.E. Graves spends her imaginary spare time
I know I’m more likely to see them because it is so darned dark when I get out of bed, but… STILL.
THE COLORS ARE AMAZING. I get the warm fuzzies just for being alive and having color vision to see this.
When I say there have been some amazing oranges in recent sunsets, this is what I mean.
My commute across the (beloved to me) San Francisco Bay has been full of photographic inspiration, but I didn’t expect it also to be full of impressive marine mammals!
Sure, I’ve seen a seal near the Ferry Building, and was charmed. But… a whale? IN THE BAY? I know they swim there, but I wasn’t expecting to SEE one.
But I had a sharp-eyed colleague with me, and he spotted a spout, so I DID see a whale. A humpback, from the fin.
My sharp-eyed colleague also insisted that I report the sighting to the Marine Mammal Center’s page for whale and dolphin sightings, (marinemammalcenter.org), so I did that, and got a very nice reply from a scientist later on.
Any day that starts with a whale turning up alive and well during your morning commute is going to be a good day!
