Up Very Close and Personal

I never imagined getting as close to a whale in the wild, as I did today. It was difficult to get good photos as they were so close to the boat. We encountered 5 pods of whales but stayed with a pod of three, that entertained us with their frolicking, right beside and underneath our boat. There was moments that if I could have reached out, I would have been able to touch them. It was a magical day even if I wasn't able to catch there every movement on camera.…………………………………………………………………………This last shot shows you how close the whales were coming to the boat.
