While in Victor Harbor, we got to do some whale watching. Between May and October, the southern right whales head here to mate and calve. We checked for different sightings and there had been some spotted just down the road in Middleton Point. We got to see three adults and their calves. It was so spectacular to just stand and watch them. They are such large animals. It was incredible. Due to the wind, it was tough to get a good picture of them in between the waves but here are a few that we did manage to snap. There were also a few seals playing just off the shore but I have not included those pictures because you wouldn't be able to tell what they were!
This is just to give a perspective as to how close they were to shore.
That big blob in water is not a wave, it is a whale.
SO cool!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was really neat so them be able to interact with each other like that. And that they were in the wild.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures on your blog! Who is the photog? We have really enjoyed following your trip these past months. What a great trip you seem to be having.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have been doing most of the photography but Dylan has done a little bit too. While we were snorkeling he took quite a few. There have been a few outside people too to help us out! It has been a really good experience. We are still hoping to see a lot more on our weekends. It isn't that much longer until we come though.
