Nice Terry. Living on the coast has its advantages. Seeing whales up close and personal is an awesome experience. Usually the bay here is too busy for a whale to come in but they certainly come close to shoreline outside the bay. I think the same for the San Francisco Bay although it is much larger. Haikus inspire more haikus.
