the light house on Tatoosh Island.
bird life
beautiful wave
beautiful coast looking north....
love the wave cascading off the low rocks....
the whole gang, yes I was there ! just after this picture I believe we had opened snacks from my pack and some one had said we needed to do a whale dance... so of course a few of us did, I called for them and here is where its gonna get difficult to pick pictures so forgive the blurry ones and remember that I have 5 woman jumping up and down on a wooden platform built almost on the edge of the continental united states, and keeping in mind also, that we had about one hour ten minutes of sightings!over 400 pictures for the day trip! ....... Enjoy!
thar she blows !
and as the ladies jumped up and down yelling whales !!! they came closer......
isn't it beautiful!!
they were getting cheered on to come closer and so they ....
.... did !
tail!
different color barnacles
they almost look black and white!
and still closer they come.....
TAIL ! (best tail of the day.)...
WHOO HOOO!
and closer to us they come.....
I was told by our whale expert that they were grey whales feeding on the bottom and rubbing barnacles off on the rocks
only one rock away now....
see the scratches on her ?
I am sooo excited
love this one too....
more tail!
rubbing on the rocks??
TAIL!
I will add the rest tomorrow I am exhausted from my day :)

while we were distracted this little guy took advantage of snacks....
whale tale and in the foam below & to the right of the tail is a dark shape
