Whale watching!

We went whale (no, not just whale, KILLER whale) watching today off of Anacortes, WA. The boat went 65 miles round trip up to just south of the Canadian border to find the "J" pod, which consists of 25 orcas. It took awhile to get out there, but once the captain found the pod it was amazing! One of the whales they have named Granny and she's 97 years old! Here's some pictures of her:




Copyright sidebar: These pictures were taken today by a professional photographer who was employed by the tour operator. He had an extremely nice camera and mongo lens that we both want!!!

Two other boats joined the fray:




These are just the pictures we had quick access to. We'll post our personal pictures later, including the ones showing the kids freezing their behinds off (temp was in the low 50's with light rain off and on). Bye for now!
