Them's Whales

Whales - until today I never saw one - and now I have...

they are amazing, fabulous creatures. 

We went out whalewatching from Santa Cruz, CA.  It was a bit cold, and very choppy, and more than a few of the bunch left their breakfasts over the side...

BUT WE SAW WHALES - they came up close to the boat - in groups of two or three - fabulous, fabulous, fabulous...

disclaimer;  these aren't my picture, cause I don't have a telephoto lens - but this IS what it looked like!!

 And we saw sea lions...

 and adorable sea otters...

a fabulous day for DH, me, and some friends...

and tomorrow I'm staying home all day and sewing...
