Whale Watching

It was this trip, back in September, that first gave me the idea of this blog and made me realize that the natural beauties that we regularly see in this part of the world should be shared with a wider audience.

I’m ashamed it’s taken me two months to bring my idea to life.

We were up on Orcas Island for a long weekend with Mum and Dad. As well as cruising round the island, we took a day to go whale watching. Last time I did this, was back in California, with one of my best friends. On that day, it was cold and wet and I didn’t even get the tiniest of glimpses of anything resembling a whale. This trip could not have been more different:  clear blue skies and whales in abundance. Seeing a small pod swimming towards us and then directly under our boat was a truly magical moment.

Here are the highlights:
