Orca Spyhopping


Orca Spyhopping
Originally uploaded by PACNWTXN
While on vacation on nearby San Juan Island, we drove out to Lime Kiln State Park to see if we could spot any orcas from the distance. Instead, we got quite the closeup show. Somewhere around 10 orcas came up to the shore to meet us. This one was actually closer than it looks. It was out of the water more than this, but the camera caught him on the way back down into the water. We saw mother whales teaching their newborns to fish, full breaches, and generally playful whales that day. Quite an experience... (By the way, can you imagine being in that kayak?)

This had to be a dream come true for the member of your family who is a former Sea World fanatic & Shamu trainer wanna be.
