Whale Spotting

I popped down South on the weekend and while taking photos for more painting inspiration we spotted whales frolicking in the water at Smiths Beach Yallingup.  It was so gorgeous to see, although to begin with they were quite far away and we could just see them leaping out of the water in the distance and the big spurts of water gushing up in the air.  They gradually came closer and closer and it was really exciting.  I wanted to see them leap in the air and their tail crash the top of the water but they happily went on their way oblivious to all the fuss on the surface.

However, the day was truely magnificent, the sun was shining, the air was fresh and the water was just delightful.  It was an amazing sight to see and once again I realise how lucky we are to live in this beautiful country.
