hUMpback whales

At the end of August and for a couple of weeks we got a special treat here on the central coast.   A lot of sea life was very close to the shore for everyone to enjoy.  There were dolphins, thousands of pelicans, humpback whales and much more under the water that we couldn’t see.  The reason I believe was because of the extra amount of kelt and anchovies in the water and the humpback whales were just making their way down on to Mexico.   A whole lot of people come into town just to see the whales, and see them they did.  They were so close that they could smell their breath, the people on the news said.  Personally I would never get that close to a humpback, don’t want to be the next Jonah.  People were in canoes and on paddle boards getting as close to them as they could.  The first couple of pictures I put up were from the news that people sent in, there are some crazy pictures online.  The next set of pictures would be ours that we took.  Not cool I know, but by the time Tim and I could get out there it was like 6:30 and the whales were done for the day, but we did get a picture of two dolphins a huge group of birds attacking something in the water and a humpback whale a couple hundred yards away, you can see the spray of water.
