Today was our first whale watching tour. Aaron arranged for us to go out on a six hour tour with Captain Spencer of Maya’s Legacy Whale Watching. Most tours are only three hours but Aaron made special arrangements to give us more time on the water.
It took a while for us to get used to taking photos on a rocking boat but we got some great shots

We decided to go on an Orca Whale Watching Tour with Aaron Photos. We met up with our tour group (5 other people plus Aaron) this morning and headed to Anacondas to catch the ferry. While we were waiting for the ferry we spotted this blue heron and he was kind enough to pose in front of Mt. Baker
We weren’t the only ones out whale watching. The first photo is of a tour group from British Columbia and are all decked out in their rain gear since they travel at high speeds to find the perfect location
Sure glad we are on a small 30 ft boat with just 8 of us so we all have room to move around and try to capture some great shots
Busy day on the bay

Had to go to Annapolis on an errand and Michael surprised me by asking what he thought about getting a new camera. We had talked about getting a new camera a while ago but decided to wait a while. He didn’t have to wait long for my answer – YES. Now we will both have a great camera and won’t have to share anymore. So of course we had to stop at the Naval Academy on the way home to take some photos. This blue heron was nice enough to pose for us.
