Another phenomenal weekend at the Newport Folk Festival...
Best number in my book was My Morning Jacket calling Brittany Howard, lead signer of Alabama Shakes on the main stage with them to cover The Band's 'It Makes No Difference' as the clouds gathered and lightning crashed all around.
Seconds after MMJ finished their finale -- I'm Amazed -- the skies opened up and the show was shut down for the night. Problem was we had to wait 90 minutes in the downpour for our turn on the water taxi back to downtown Newport.
Special thanks to Momo for making it all the way from Peru to DC to New Haven to join us in the caravan to Rhode Island.

Whale watching
Having read many (OK... 3) a sea-faring tale of fright and having spent the entire 4 hours of a deep-sea fishing excursion curled in the fetal position with sea-sickness, I was scared to go whale-watching.
Every time I closed my eyes, I pictured this:
Reality was much more pleasant. Gorgeous blue sky, calm waters and Humpback and Minke whales everywhere we turned.
I saw one of the Humpbacks breaching but it was too far away to get a good pic. Mostly, they surfaced and dove right back down, giving the best view of their flukes:
