A Whale of a Time....

No, I haven't taken leave of my senses.......these photos of whales were taken off the NSW coast last week. The humpbacked whales are on their annual migration from Antarctic waters to the warmer northern waters for the winter.
Although we saw a few whales only about 50metres from shore - but not when I had the camera - most of these would have been a couple of kilometres offshore. Almost too far for my little camera to cope with, but I thought they were worth a try.
It was such a thrill to see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

What a stroke of luck it was to see the whales. You were in the right place at the right time. I can imagine what a thrill it was to see them doing their 'thing', and you managed to get some good photos in spite of the distance.
That ocean is such a vivid blue!
