"How bout sniffing your own flippers? Head of the Meadow Beach, Cape Cod National Seashore, USA.
Too me it looked too foggy to be out in a boat, and their little skiff seems a bit overcrowded, but they seemed to know where they were going and probably had made the trip many times. Waters were calm.
Somewhere near the harbor, New Haven CT USA.
A disciple of St. Francis, she could befriend just about anyone. Here at the Mystic Aquarium, Mystic CT USA around 2012.
Head of the Meadow, Cape Cod National Seashore, USA. "I'd like to be under the sea, in an in an Octupus's garden in the shade."

Closing in on a whale's personal bubble.
The young are apparently allowed some more turning room for sleeping. Possibly with the intervention of an assertive mom? Seal on the sand bar at Head of the Meadow Beach, Cape Cod National Seashore, Truro, MA, USA
One can speculate, that the action of water and waves, had as much to do with the formation of the strong and constantly moving architecture of the whale, as it does with the contour of continents and their shorelines.
How would it be to take a stroll across the waters of the world? Be constantly eating as though in a great buffet, and then to fast for 4 months in the clear waters of Caribbean? One can wonder.
Crabs at low tide, on the marsh at the Audobon center in Wellfleet MA USA
Gulls such as this have reportedly been known to drop shells onto hard surfaces to crack them open. Haven't seen that yet but would much rather spend time on the beach than the parking lot. The bird pictured is from Race Point, Cape Cod, MA USA.
Corvis, seen as it were, in broad daylight. By effect of the light and angle, it appears almost as the emblem of a crow. Emissary? Toolmaker? Messenger? Harbinger? Or as it seems here a rip in the blue sky space time? A portal to some darker realm? Known for their pro-social behavior in groups, odd and flexible vocalizations, and intelligence, here we have it, the archetypal manifestation of crow. Seen above the old whaler Captain Penniman's house in Eastham MA USA. Caw!
Wayfarers gathered to one shore. Race Point, Provincetown, MA, USA, August 2021
They appear so stately, with heads held high, almost formal, that I could imagine them as a subject of colonial portraiture. "On these shores"..."sea to shining sea." However in another context turning the page to a different era and another environment, I don't think they would quibble over whether to call their fortunes...French or freedom fries.....
(Avis Custodes is Latin for Bird Watchers.) Patient by nature, willing to traverse long stretches at uncommon times of the day. Frequently solitary, but also known to congregate. I would call myself one, minus the fancy gear and the lists. A good resource for identification is: The Cornell Bird Lab
Seen here in a family group. A bipedal ape known for its strong affinity to oceans and all bodies of water - Humans or Homo Sapiens being the remaining extant example. The amniotic fluid of the neonate has often been compared to seawater. In the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis, primary characteristics such as hairless or furless skin have been attributed to an evolution of a swimming ape into a primarily land bound creature. (See Wikipedia for more information) Although embraced by such notable naturalists as David Attenborough, the theory is largely disregarded in academic circles. There can be no denying the potency and fascination of the ocean and waters in general to the species.
An infant humpback whale on the Stellwagen bank off the coast of Plymouth MA, USA. A naturalist on board shared the babe drink 128 lbs. of mother's milk a day, all the while in motion, no swaddling. The child is about 3 lengths the size of my car.
