Whale Watch

Last week I was on a 6 day bus trip to Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Base camp was a hotel in Eastham, and we explored the Cape visiting as many interesting places that we could squeeze into 4 days. The other 2 days were travel days. 

The highlight of the trip was the Whale Watch boat out of Provincetown. I used my little Nikon camera, but it was hard to see what I was photographing, so eventually I gave up, and just watched this group of five magnificent humpback whales as they swam by the boat. I'm convinced these intelligent creatures were just as interested in seeing us, as we were to see them. 

 



The individual whales were identifiable by the markings on their tails, visible as they dived down to lower depths.

  6. What an adventure! Lovely photos. I have only seen a whale in the wild imonce, from a fishing boat off of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It was unexpected and incredible
