Wednesday I went to see whales in Monterey bay
A sea lion having a rest on a buoy
Killer whales spotted. It was almost impossible to take photos of them since they only surfaced for 2-3 seconds at the time
The male killer whale had some injury to its finn
When a whale shows its tail it means it got the air it needed and is diving again
Humpback whales are coming up for air
They were quite big but difficult to take picture of with a slow digital camera
A sea lion has caught a crab and eating it. A sea gull is trying to steal it
A humpback whale letting out air in the distance
