Yesterday was my cousin John's birthday and we went whale watching to commemorate the ocassion.
Here's my first photo entitled: Oh my gosh! A whale!
Which ended up with my taking a picture of other people's backs.
The next ones went better. The whales came right up to our boat.
Apparently, Humpback whales are very curious and find us as interesting as we find them.
The water where these pictures were taken is only twelve feet deep!
The whales have bumps around their eyes called tubercles. Apparently, each on of these is a gargantuan hair follicle with one coarse hair. The whales detect tidal patterns and calculate distances based on the vibrations from these hairs.
