It Isn't Winter Every Day by onewing

It Isn't Winter Every Day

Yesterday we were out with the walking group along the coastal trails through bushland in Fingal Bay and every now and then we would go to the lookouts to check out if there were any whales. This was taken from one of the lookouts.

We must have seen about 40 whales as they travelled north from Antarctica. None in this picture through as they were out just past the rocks and none were breaching, we could just see the waterspouts.

Today I have been out with a group of friends for our girlie lunch at a restaurant by the marina in Nelson Bay and it was another beautiful day.

Not bad for winter. The thing about winter in Australia is that it isn't winter every day.
Beautiful Babs and you are right about wnter here!

Absolutely. When we arrived in Sydney it was late May and we lived there through Winter and Spring before coming home to an English Winter lol. But it was like Summer for us all the way - Aussie Winters are so bright and sunny so often. This is a lovely shot

40 whales must have made for a lovely hike. It's always so exciting to see them - even at a distance. It looks like a lovely hiking track.

What a wonderful sea view Babs and you get to see migrating whales to how fantastic :)

@casablanca Thanks. I wouldn't want to go back to a UK winter

@nigelrogers @happypat I remember English summers. A shock to the system when we returned there from Cyprus. That's why we came to Australia

@pusspup a big difference between here and Alice

@shutterbug49 Didnt need a coat, started rhe walk wearing trousers short sleeved tee shirt and fleece top but it got warmer and I removed the jacket.
Got up to 19 degrees C i believe

@k9photo @rontu @happypat @rontu @robz @pcoulson thanks, saw so many whales. I think I will nip up to Boat Harbour later today as we can see them closer from there

@onewing My kind of winter.
June 8th, 2024  
Stunning view...will be watching for your whale pictures!! :) I can't imagine how exciting it would be to see them in person!
June 8th, 2024  
I wish my winters were like this! Beautiful shot. And whales- 40 for that matter- how awesome is that?!
June 8th, 2024  
Beautiful view and capture.
June 8th, 2024  
What nice views as you walk. And how exciting to see whales. I've tried twice and the trips have failed to occur.
