Mark had the day off on Good Friday, and we decided to use our day together for a whale watching trip. We did one not too long ago, but it was cold and very windy that day. Friday was different; it was a very enjoyable day on the boat, and we got to see many sea animals. In addition to the brown pelicans and sea gulls, we also spotted a female Baleen Whale with her calf, we watched hundreds of Common Dolphins, and saw some resting sea lions. Basically, from the beginning of the trip till the end there was something to see.

Here is a collection of the pictures I took during the trip. Since I don’t own a long zoom lens that’s best for this kind of photography, I just used my 85mm lens – and later cropped the images.

I didn’t want to miss a day from posting (I’m posting every day in April, in case you didn’t know it). But I haven’t had time to process my images from today. I won’t tell what we saw today at Newport Beach and in its vicinity, but we had a great day out at the ocean. So as a teaser, I just have a few images from the harbor.

I’ll make my “official” post tomorrow.
