Humpback Whales ~ Avila Beach 2015

Humpback Surfaces with Fish
Humpbacks back again…whether they like Avila Beach for the weather, the scenery 0r the krill…(maybe all of them), I’m not sure. It’s kind of a moot point to debate what brings the whales to avila, it’s beautiful there and these humpbacks are starting to make a habit of visiting. Back in 2012, they came thru and dazzled crowds, and yesterday at the beach was no different!

If you want my advice, go to Avila…get a Kravabowl ~ walk down the pier…cross your fingers…and see something sweet; even a Pelican-shitting is pretty cool, if you’re in Avila.

441

That’s how many weddings I just counted—441 weddings I’ve had the pleasure of capturing. All time.

Starting in 2008, that’s an average of 26 weddings per year! Wow. Yes, that includes elopements. However, I’ve also calculated that, on average, I spend about six hours capturing each wedding.

For all of you who love numbers, this one’s for you. And here’s a big one:

500.

For a long time, I had the number 500 in mind—like, “After 500, I’m out!”

At the rate I’ve been going for the last five years, I’ll hit 500 by the end of 2026.

Spoiler: I’m not retiring in 2027. That’d be no fun. So maybe 2037? I’ll lay down my camera, and I’ll…
