The focus of the site is on information of all the variety of whale species and where to see them in the wild. I am a watercolor artist that paints and loves whales ...and I thought that a website centered around whales would be fun and informative. I love your photos....and would only need to use very small res. files - I could get them right from your blog...or your flicker page....no need to download special copy...they would only be for web....on the pages where I discuss information on each species. I would put your name as the photographer and a link to your blog or website whichever you prefer....if you like....and I would leave your watermarks in place on the images. Thank you for your kind consideration. Sincerely, Connie McClure www.mccluresfineart.com - just so you can see some of my whale paintings that I have done..... Hello Tony,

He likes to sneak up on people and appear right next to you, or come straight at you at high speed and slow down only when he's within reach. It can be an un-nerving experience if you don't know what to expect. Actually, even if you do know what to expect...it's a bit of a mental challenge to stay still. Oh yes…he definitely approached us!

Regarding concern by others, I think the key phrase in your post is "Scar approached all of us." You didn't do the approaching, the whale did. And he certainly could have outswum any human trying to pursue him underwater flukes down, so to speak. As long as the animal is obviously comfortable, there's no reason not to touch him or play with him. Besides, you're not ascribing human characteristics to a whale, you're just using the only vocabulary we have to describe your observations. Not to mention that only a complete moron would still deny that animals have emotions, and you are clearly anything but that. Hi Tony,
