I've been pencilling in bookclub meeting, staff meeting, birthday party etc. for Jan. and am really struck by Deb Bee's photo. There must be a story behind it. I'd love to know how you got that shot. We
recently had seals on our local sandbar, but nothing as dramatic as January AQ.

Aw, thanks. I was going to remind everyone to get out their AQ calendars today! (I'm so tickled that Ryan chose my photo for January!)
Anyway, it's not a terribly exciting story, though it was a VERY exciting vacation when I got that picture. We were on a cruise in Alaska. After the cruise, we took a glacier tour on a smaller boat, and on the way to the glacier, we passed these two harbor seals (the naturalist on the ship called them"Twinkies," because everything in the wild eats them) on a chunk of ice. They're very shy (I would be, too, if everything in my world wanted to eat me!) so I just started snapping away when we saw them, hoping they'd let us get close enough to get a decent shot. I'd have preferred it if they'd been facing the camera, but I couldn't exactly call out instructions to them!

It is a very artistic photo, and I think that having them not facing the camera really makes this shot. It is very well done. Congrats.

Ah, well, in that case, I'll just say, "Thanks. That's just the effect I was going for!" <g>

it would be really cool if every month we could get the photographer to share with us the story behind the photo...
