We weren't as lucky getting close to the whales as you did here in Newfoundland this year. But, we did see many humpbacks 'playing' offshore. Often the baby whale would be left by Mom for a while. The baby would get bored or something and begin playing. Tail slapping and fin waving... throw in a few breaches and it is always fun to watch. Mom would appear and play for a while too. Our favorite places up here for whale watching are St. Vincents, Witless Bay and Trinity Bay. But, any place that gives us access to the ocean is a place to look. Love your whale photos.
