Happy New Year!

I celebrated the New Year in the Channel Islands off the California Coast. We spent the night camping on Santa Cruz Island and saw foxes, whales, and dolphins in addition to the beautiful hill and coastal views.

Here is a sampling (mind you that I am not a professional photographer):









And our boat passed through a huge school of hundreds of dolphins (the video is better in high definition if youtube gives you that option):



In high quality video, you can also see a whale near the horizon:



I hope you enjoy the pictures and videos and have a Happy New Year!

Sounds like you had a great trip! The dolphin video is very cool - I'll bet it was really neat to actually be there! ;-)

The dolphins pretty much made New Years Day :)
