If you have ever had the opportunity to spot humpback whales off the tip of a ship’s prow, then you know how thrilling it is to watch these megaton mammals thrust themselves skyward, at times spiraling in an out-of-water ballet. While several theories abound about why whales breach, for those of us watching on the sidelines, it simply looks like a moment of inexpressible joy.
For today’s Photo Friday, here are a few pictures from my whale watching adventure in the Galapagos Islands hosted by Quasar Expeditions.

Nancy, I haven’t been on a trip yet, but I would love to maybe sometime in the future. Your photographs are great, and I have put a link to your blog in my post today. Blessings for the weekend.
I’ve seen them on occasion off the coast here but never up close, how marvellous to be so near to them, precious creatures.You’re lucky, nice post.
Thanks, Maggie! I do know how lucky I am to have seen whales in their natural habitat in Hawaii, Alaska, and the Galapagos Islands.I never tire of the experience ~
Think what wonders you have waiting for you, Amanda! I appreciate your comments. Blessings right back to you ~
