Vote for Captain Bobby....AGAIN...for 2016

ALOHA!

Yes, it's been another year and time for a new calendar for the Waikiki Aquarium. 1st of all, thank you all who supported me and voted last year! Mahalo! "Kona Manta" was picked and is now proudly part of the 2015 calendar. Yup, Captain Bobby is Mr. October, Baby! :)

This past year has been a struggle for me as 7 months of it was taken up by major surgery and rehab. While I wasn't able to get in and under the water as much as I wanted, I did manage to make one trip and got the pleasure to spend some time with many Humpback whales and a few undersea creatures in Maui.

From the hundreds of photos I have to choose from, I decided to enter these three for special reasons. Yes, three different photos so make sure to vote for a ALL THREE! :)

Baby Gotta Escort

On the way out of Lahaina Harbor in Maui, we spotted a baby humpback whale being escorted by, and seemingly playing with, a couple of bottlenose dolphins. It was absolutely wonderful to watch.  The threesome seemed to be having a great time.

The above two images also appealed to me and showed how much fun the baby was having. I liked when he/she spied me as I was taking photos. It was almost as if he/she wanted to make sure I was still there and still photographing the show she was putting on.

Baby Humpback

This one I especially like, because it shows a pure expression of joy and fun that this baby seemed to be having. Consistently and gleefully leaping out of the water, he/she was have a blast and I bet it just felt good too. WooHoo!

Hitchin' A Ride

From undersea I chose this one because it has special meaning for me. As a child, I always had a saltwater aquarium and dove extensively throughout the waters of Oahu. One of my favorite sea creatures as I was growing up was the hermit crab and I was always excited when it attached a sea anemone on it's back. A pure symbiotic relationship and always looked cool. Styling', Baby!

Ya gotta keep the crib looking' good, brah! Oh, and the colors of this hermit...WOW!
