Had a great day on Saturday, cruising Prince William Sound with Beth and her parents in beautiful weather and checking out the scenery and the wildlife.
Mears glacier is at the head of this fjord. We got to watch it calving, which was pretty spectacular.
Just a side valley of Mears fjord. Ho-hum....
A seal haul-out on a large island in the sound. This is just a spot where juvenile seals and a few "unsuccessful" males rest in the sun.
Here's a humpback whale surfacing and eating. I got the feeling that this was the backup whale for the cruise line, in case we didn't see any full-grown adults up close, because they knew just where to find it and we stopped to watch it twice. Still, it was pretty cool.
My mom hates everything about sea otters, except turning them into coats! I actually took this by holding the camera up to a pair of binoculars.

Are you checking to see if I read this? Who could hate otters (other than clams)?
