Day 95: A Whale of an Afternoon, pt 1

We decided to relax for the afternoon before the Boat departed, by sitting on our balcony and watching the ocean.  It wasn’t long before we sighted…

(Click to enlarge; BACK to return!)

 

Yup!  Whales.  Right off our pier!  Of course, being on the 9th floor/deck helped…

Note there are two whales.  It is near the end of the breeding season, and one of these is a baby!

She is waving at us!

This is the baby’s nose poking up.

These are Humpbacked Whales.

***

This is a Blue Whal…hey, where did this guy come from???

Mother Whale is blowing before she dives.

Not only are there the two whales in the foreground, but one is just starting to blow further back.  Most of the time you just see a lighter cloud than the photo above.

A “close up” of the blow.

More Whales to come!
