Here’s my last post for 2012.

I went to my favorite beach with my family.

Saw a whale spout and another, and a magnificent fluke rose up from the water and the creature dove deep.

I would have caught it on camera, but I was too busy watching.

The gentle baleen whales, the gray whales,

My favorite animals.

We climbed on rocks,

Looked in tide pools.

I love how the water sculpts the rocks.

A beautiful afternoon.

And evening . . .

A prelude to the beautiful year ahead.

Dream the beautiful and work through the impossible . . .

Happy New Year!
