Whales - In Moreton Bay - image heavy

[Debom]

On the weekend we were taking the family for a visit to Moreton Island and on the way we met these 2 stunning creatures - they were in no hurry and there was no exciting tail slapping or leaps from the water - just a quiet circling of our boat for about 25 minutes (we left first - hubby and the daughter in law were a bit worried about them coming up under the boat) They were amazing and I was in total awe -not only of their size but of the gentle way they approached us - they stopped beside us and had a good look - went under and came around the other side for another look - the most incredible experience that I have ever had on our boat! I just thought I would share the photos I took - I was pleasantly surprised that I still managed to look at the settings before taking the photos - and though there are a few duds most of them didnt come out too bad...I am slowly learning! Enjoy!
