Whales

Wayne and I got to see whales in Puget Sound today. It's a first for me, and it was so exciting. They were blowing water up in the air, and you could see their backs slip along the top of the water from their heads to their tails. They were quite a ways out, so the photo is blurry, but we saw several of them and it was wonderful.

These were taken at the light house near the Mukilteo Ferry dock. It was about 4:00 PM. It made for a very memorable and special day today. That is Whidbey Island in the background.

Aren't they amazing to see? I've never seen any locally but saw tons in Hawaii.
