I always enjoy watching the jellyfish exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Mesmerizing!

Missing last week's vacation... #SilentSunday #MontereyBay #PacificGrove

Hello #MontereyBay members! Meta/Facebook has plans to join the Fediverse (https://mastodon.social/@fediversereport/110011775459235299). Many instance admins have committed to block any FB-run instances; others feel that federation will lead to growth of non-commercial social media and provide FB users with more choice.
To be honest, I'm conflicted. FB as a company is irresponsible and untrustworthy (https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/09/myanmar-facebooks-systems-promoted-violence-against-rohingya-meta-owes-reparations-new-report/). Their content moderation policies are questionable at best, their business model exploits users.

Unusual gathering of #Orcas in #MontereyBay. ps. Don't make them mad, you don't want them adopting the "destroy all sailboats" attitude of the Orcas in Europe. https://abc7news.com/orca-whales-killer-whale-sighting-monterey-bay-california-ocean/13382311/?ex_cid=TA_KGO_TW&taid=648a179dac03a900012e0809&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=mastodon

Reorganizing - After considerable soul searching and technological jiggery-pokery, I'm restructuring my online presence among Worpress, Substack and Mastodon. I'm trying to find a balance of local, bioregional and global issues with local bioregional solutions.
Hard to accomplish in these days of digital distractions, but how else to get the word out and engage others?

When the horizon's at the bottom, it's interesting. When the horizon's at the top, it's interesting. When the horizon's in the middle, it's boring as shit. Now, good luck to you.

This painting is special to me. Inspired by a love of #MontereyBay and #nature. #Water and #wildlife are precious. I loved painting this in watercolor.

Monterey Bay Sunrise
That's right, a sunrise image over the Pacific Ocean in California. This image was captured near Natural Bridges State Beach in Santa Cruz California. The sun was low in the sky and rising south of this location. I was shooting south, southeast over the Monterey Bay. The sky was clear of any coastal fog and just light clouds in the sky. What a beautiful start to the day. See the full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/monterey-bay-sunrise-bill-gallagher.html #AYearForArt #BillGallagherPhotography #MontereyBay

Rare endangered whale glimpsed in Monterey Bay
"A North Pacific right whale, believed to be one of only 32 surviving individuals of the critically endangered species, was spotted, tracked and photographed by a Monterey Bay Whale Watch vessel."
