Thar She Blows!

One of the coolest things we did when we were in Maui, was went whale watching. We got to see a lot of whales! We saw a mother and her newborn calf, as well as lots of other babies. A couple of whales jumped out of the water several times (never got a pic). We saw a whale roll over and show us his belly; and one poked his head strait out of the water. We also got to listen to the noises they make under water. They were very noisy. We were told we were very lucky to get to see that many whales doing that many different things. This is a pic of a tail and I think it is pretty cool.
This picture is of a whale's "blow". This is usually what gave away a whale's location. Someone would yell out "Thar she blows! Whale at 9:00. (we were facing 9:00, so we loved hearing 8-11)This is a mom and her baby is right next to her.
This is the whale's head poking out of the water. It is truly wonderful to get to witness the beauty of this world and everything in it.
