Whale Watching

This will be my last post of our holidays.....I promise. I just had to share our whale watching adventure with you all.



It was a fairly foggy day out on the water, but the cigar shaped log floatin here is a Humpbacked whale. You can just make out one of the flippers under the water.

This is the baby whale. He or she decided to play with us for awhile and then raised her/his flipper in farewell before diving down to the depths of the Bay of Fundy.

We had a great day, even with the fog. Got to see 5 different whales, all Humpbacks, but that was quite all right, as the guide said some never even see one whale and we got to see 4 plus the baby.

Well off to visit everyone now.

Have a wonderful day. God bless.

Jackie,

I have been to the Maritimes several times and have never seen a whale other than in marine zoos. I would love to see any kind of whale or dolphin in the wild. This had to have been an awesome experience. Hubby lived in Vancouver for a couple years and saw Orcas while on the ferry to Vancouver Island. He said it was a spectacular sight.

Take care and if you have more vacation photos, please share them. I've loved what you've posted so far.

Blessings,
Mary
