Two interpretations after Degas, painted by Caroline Bucquet


SAME STORY.

Sometimes your vacation plan is to slow down, find good winding trails, take a random whale watch, and leave room for discoveries—including meals at the inn every bit as good as anything in town. Before long, that R&R trip finds a plan of its own.

Seven illustrated short stories where myth, memory, history, and the animal world meet—and animals take center stage.

Some stories begin with an invitation. Others begin with an unexpected arrival. This one begins with a cat who walked through an open church door. Pictured: Deacon Ken Boccino holding Mr. Meow after a church service.

Like light passing through a prism, myths reveal hidden dimensions of the human experience.

Tossed outside to fend for himself after his owner died, Moose, a gentle red tabby, begins a journey he never expected.

What happens when support stops building independence and starts sabotaging it.

Mom and Calf Humpbacks Breaching off Cape Cod
You can see multiple whales moving through the ocean, but stay with the video for the breaches. The baby humpback seems to imitate Mom, breaching even more often than she does—showing off and having fun in the process! This whale watch also featured dolphins and a minke whale.
