Very Calm Today

Yesterday a friend and I drove up to Boat Harbour to do a spot of whale watching.

The ocean was a lot calmer than the photos I took here a few weeks ago.

I decided to take a photo in the same spot as the ones at the end of May so you can see the comparison.

We only saw a few whales and they were quite close to the rocks.

From Boat Harbour we went to Birubi and had a walk along the beach there. I will post photos from Birubi over the next few days.

Sorry I have been a bit absent but since finishing scanning and editing my family photos I have been busy putting them in order ready to put them in the photobook. I think that project will keep me busy for a while.
The sea is always soothing whether it's calm or ferocious. Fabulous capture.

Glorious - amazing how deep the blue of the sea is under the pale blue sky - wish I was there !

I love the strong blue of this much calmer ocean scene. The fluffy clouds enhance the water, very picturesque.

Lovely image Babs.

Nicely composed. The water doesn't look too calm with those waves crashing against the rocks and the shore.

@happypat We saw a few whales but I didn't take any photos. None were breaching, they were just swimming by in pods of about 2 or 4. Here are some photos taken at this spot last year though.

June 20th, 2020  
So lovely.
June 20th, 2020  
Always a beautiful scene.
June 20th, 2020  
I think I like the calm sea the best! Great looking at the comparison shots!
June 20th, 2020  
That IS quite a difference !

@olivetreeann Great photos, it is always nice to be able to see people from the past. Do you have the photos in a photobook?

@cupofteajudy Indeed, I love watching the ocean whatever the weather. Our side of the bay is very sheltered but on this side the ocean gets quite ferocious at times.

@pusspup Yes we saw some whales but none were breaching, they were just swimming by blowing out snot at various intervals ha ha

@pcoulson We did see whales but this shot is just by the parking area and we climbed the cliffs to get a better look at the whales.

@sangwann I didn't take any photos of the whales because they weren't performing too well, no breaching or tail slapping this time. I was just happy to watch them.

@onewing I have some that are in a photo scrapbook I made for my father. Most of them are loose though. I would like to get them in an album someday. I want to do something like an old photo album where they pictures are held in by photo corners. Some of them have writing on the back from my grandmother and Aunt (the little girl with the blond curls) who kept track of who was who. Whenever I look at the pictures I love seeing the writing too- as if it's a connection to the person who wrote the note and cared about the different "branches" of our family tree.
