We went on a whale watch today out of Plymouth(MA) harbor. Got a good chance to try out the new camera (Nikon D40).
I have had trouble posting pics in the past. I hope this works.


Yes, that is a whale's dorsal fin below the boat. I blew the pic up at home. The kids in the bow look bored.

This one was about 100 yards or so from the boat.



Going for a deep dive.

Only saw a few Minke whales, nothing else. Wasn't the best trip but it was fun none the less.

Very cool! Thanks for the share.

Another life goal to aspire to: go whale-watching with the kids.

Thank you.

Such majestic creatures, I would love to go whale watching too!

These are amazing pictures!

My mom used to take her second graders whale watching, but I was always in school when she went. I remember in 1st grade we raised money to adopt one.
