A morning spent whale watching

Uncategorized 1 Minute 
Humpback Whales 

A pleasant boat trip
Out on the bay
The odd humpback whale
Here and there. 

So hard to get a photo 
Better just to relax
Soak up the sun
Enjoy the experience. 

They do what they will
Idling around in the water 
The occasional breach
My camera too slow to catch. 

And then across a pod we come
Curious young ones
Watching us for a while
A few photos and videos taken. 

Such gracious creatures 
At home in their world
Seemingly not worried 
By the presence of the aliens.
