Too close for comfort

as the whales were playing right alongside the boat and slashing those close with water. I had my 70-300 lens on and could not get any decent shots.

I have never before seen so many so close. One could actually see how huge these amazing creatures are. This one was rolling around and showing it's white belly!

Ha ha David did the same thing when he went on a whale watch. I think he had his 600 lens though and wasn't expecting the whales to come right up to the boat.

Wow! Hubby and I were just reading an article about why whales breach. No one really knows but there are several educated guesses. The article concluded with the statement that all of them could be true. Great shot!
