Weird! At least you got to see these beauties up close! I will never forget it and it was all the sweeter because my daughter and husband were with me. I know it is something she will never forget.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-53680447723186018492012-02-04T18:52:28.059-08:002012-02-04T18:52:28.059-08:00Bob - Haida Gwai'i is a beautiful place!

We we so lucky because according to our guide some of the youngsters in the pod were playing, they were slapping their tales on the surface of the water. <br /><br />Fuzzy - I was speechless, you know that feeling you get when you are doing the perfect turn or a perfect run of twisties, that is the same feeling I had when I saw the whales. I was exhilarated. <br /><br />Troubadour - I wonder what the whales think of us when we come invading their space. It makes me feel terribly bad when I know how much humans have devastated their habitat. <br /><br />Troubairits - It was an amazing experience, it is made me feel so teeny tiny and that I knew I had to do better as a steward of this earth. The guide said that the super pod doesn't happen that much. It was amazing listening to him talk, he really was passionate about his work. <br /><br />Sonja - I think I would do it again and hope that one day we will. It was such a last minute thing and the best part was that it was free! <br /><br />VStar Lady - It was breathtaking, They were just a few feet away from the boat. I couldn't believe it when they breached the water along side us. It was thrilling!<br /><br />Bluekat - Thank you! It was all done on a little Canon Power Shot SD1200IS Elph. I wander everywhere with that in my pocket and I am so glad I brought it that day. We had our Canon G7 and its battery died, thank goodness I had mine. I hope I get to photograph these beautiful animals again. <br /><br />ToadMama - Its hard not to be awestruck by these creatures. Alaska is on my bucket list of places I would like to go. Not sure if I would ride or if I would like to cruise there via ship. Need to think about that one, but I bet it would be a pretty amazing motorcycle ride.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-46616767438799134112012-02-04T06:10:17.659-08:002012-02-04T06:10:17.659-08:00Oh, just imagining being there gave me chills.

Everytime we saw whales our guide cut the motors and they were so close to our Zodiac. We also went into a cove and saw hundreds of Bald Eagles<br /><br />bob <br /><a href="%E2%80%9Dwww.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.com
