Yesterday we packed a lunch, the dogs, a couple of books to read, the camera and binoculars and drove down to Boiler bay, which is just north of the town of DePoe Bay. They have a resident pod of whales living in the area…somewhere….
I got some great shots of waves crashing on the rocks and we kept checking to see if we could see any spouts or whales. After a couple of hours of reading and looking, a couple of whale watching boats came by loaded down with passengers and we figured we had better start looking more closely.
With the binoculars we spotted a spout and finally the back of a whale….a few minutes more and another spout and more of the whale and finally the fins came up in the air as it went down……
Did not get a picture of the whale, it happened too fast.
I took a lot of pictures of the same area to show you the different looks when the waves are crashing onto the rocks.
Enjoy
Our 18-55mm zoom lens kind of died on us (the motor in the lens is malfunctioning) so we ordered a new lens on line. It showed up today. Other than that, no news for today. We are just vegging, reading and playing Zinga poker on Facebook.
Take care
love to ya

Really nice photos. We're veggie also because don't want to shut off the truck if we were to go touring. Plus we've already seen all the things around here.
