Last Monday evening Jan and I were enjoying a lovely dinner cruise in front of Lahaina, Maui when a rainbow broke through the sunset colored clouds, creating some real light magic. I was invited to Maui to be a speaker for Whale Trust Maui’s 14th annual four-day celebration of whales called “Whale Tales”. There were eleven presenters over the President’s Day weekend hosted at The Ritz-Carlton Kapalua. I was in good company with Flip Nicklin (photographer for over 20 National Geographic articles), Ralph Lee Hopkins (Director of Expedition Photography for the National Geographic/Lindblad fleet), and a number of PHD marine mammal experts. One attendee, Joan, followed up my presentation with a lovely email, “Thank you so much for your amazing, beautiful, and wildly entertaining presentation today at 2019 Whale Tales!! ” It was an honor to be there. Thanks for visiting, enjoy. Camera: Nikon D850, Lens: Nikkor 80-400mm, Digital Capture, Hand held ©Mark Kelley
