Photo Hunt: Fast

By on December 18, 2009 in Nature, Photo Hunt

I did some blog hopping tonight (because I was tired and reading blogs relaxes me). When I went to “Bonggamom’s” blog I was reminded about the Photo Hunt. I have not participated in a while, but theme this week is FAST and I have just a couple photos that I think would be appropriate for that:

We went on a Whale Watch last Friday and had fun.  However, I didn’t catch a photo of the whale on breach position. They were too FAST!

    How cool and how special!

    I remember the last time I saw a whale in person was in the pacific northwest.

    It was a “Killer Whale” otherwise known as an “Orca”

    I was a small kid and we were on a small fishing boat and I was frightened that the whale was going to eat me like some of the scary whale stories I had heard of as a kid.

    Maui folks are lucky you guys get such a great view!

    Beautiful! The only whale I have eve seen was in the River Thames a few years back, the poor thing. I would love to see whales in their proper habitat.

    Happy weekend

    We got the same idea, except mine was just a small fish jumping out of the water.

    Whales must be fast, we see a lot more photos of tails than we do heads. ;) Clever take on the theme.

    Drop by and see mine here.

    Very cool. We just got back from Oahu but did not get a chance to go on a cruise for the whales. Yep, you do have to be fast to get a picture. Have a great weekend.

    am envious! I would love to see those whales for real. Nice shots even if you didn’t get them in breach position. Have a nice week and Merry Christmas!
