The Etc. Part of Whales And Sails, Etc.

My two favorite passions when it comes to photography are whales and boats, hence the name Whales and Sails. But I also like to capture beautiful landscapes, animals, birds, flowers, etc. This is where the Etc. part comes in.

I recently entered two local photo contests. The first was sponsored by the Whatcom Educational Credit Union (WECU), with the winning photos being featured in their 2010 calendar. I entered a photo called "A Day on the Farm", which is a landscape of Mt. Baker in the background and a farmer in a tractor in the foreground. It won the contest and will be featured for the month of June!

I also entered it into the Essence of Bellingham Photo Contest where it received Honorable Mention.  And one of the others I entered "Winter Sunset" (pictured above) won Best of Subject in the Sunrise Sunset category.  The photos will be on display at City Hall starting the 26th of June, then at one of the Downtown Art Walks, and they will also be featured on Bellingham's TV channel 10.

You can see these two photos on my website Whales and Sails, Etc.  Click on Photo Contest Winners!  You can also order copies of the prints on the website.  Enjoy the beauty of the earth!

My New Website - Whales and Sails, Etc.

I've added to my list of websites. I've always had a homepage of sorts, with my personal interests. Then when I decided to really focus on my photography and the orcas, I created CaroleMay.com. I have since received a number of requests for prints of my photos, so I have just set up WhalesAndSails.com  When it comes to my photography, my two main passions are the whales (orcas and grays) and sails (boats of any kind, large or small).  

I've been working hard on Whales And Sails, Etc. There are many more photos up now. I've added to the Working Boats of the Pacific Northwest, the Washington Scenics, and many more orca photos.  I'll be taking a lot more this year and am looking forward to seeing the gray whales within the next couple of weeks.
