This is so cool. And the elevator music used is perfection.
I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Dolphins racing alongside my whale watch tour boat, showing off their speed and skill. We passed multiple dolphin pods & saw two minke whales. I also take sunrise & sunset beach hikes, snorkel, explore tide pools & learn about Pacific Coast ecosystems. Art is resistance. Nature is my muse 🐬🐋🌀𓇼🌊🐚

Which one should I munch on, the blue or red snack? 😋
A Southern Right Whale, estimated to be around 18 meters long and weighing 80 tons, caught on camera. Stunning.
These whales are relatively harmless and they are known to interact with humans.
Amazing creatures.

Anyone know what kind of whales these are? Hint: they are very curious and will visit your boat to take a closer look at you :) - I completed this illustration in coloured pencil on coloured paper- old school!
