As soon as I arrived, I could see multiple whale spouts out on the water. I counted seven from the parking lot! I thought it would be the perfect day to set up camp and watch the show.
I think they saw me coming... As soon as I found a good spot, got out my camera and sat down, there wasn't a whale in sight.
I was, however, captivated by the waves crashing on the rocks. I never become complacent with my gorgeous surroundings. Pe'e Point is a beautiful spot; whales or no whales.
How close can I get without getting washed out to sea? |
I could have held the camera a little straighter! |
Better |
One of my favorite shots of the day |
I still can't believe I live here |
Round and round we go ~ Whee! |
It's frustrating that I saw closer whales when I was on the beach snorkeling with my friends last week (when I didn't have my camera with me). Who would think one could see breaching whales right from the beach? OK, it sounds like I am on the verge of complaining and I certainly have no room to complain when my NE Ohio friends are shoveling snow and trying to stay warm! I am truly blessed to be living this life, I know.....
Maybe the whales will be more cooperative and swim close to the boat on Saturday when I plan to go snorkeling and whale watching with Blue Dolphin Charter Tours again.
After three hours, I was feeling a bit 'salty'. I needed to go home, wash off the salt, and find some food, but I grabbed a few parting shots before my camera battery died.
These birds are actually HUGE, but they look so small.... |
Another beautiful day on Kauai.... |
Hugs and Much Aloha to all my friends on the mainland. "Goodnight and God Bless" as my brother, David, used to say.
PS - Have any of you found the "Secret Gardens" CD's yet? I never tire of listening to them; such rich and beautiful music.
