Maine Vacation: Whale Watching
I would've killed for a 75-300mm zoom lens...
Anyway, so we saw two Humpback whales, a mother and her son. We also saw 3 (yes, 3) Right whales, which are nearly extinct -- there are roughly 317 of them left in the world. And we saw 3. Only 314 to go :)
We also had a bunch of dolphins that were playing in the boat's wake, but then they stupidly turned the motors off. The dolphins ended up leaving, as we were no longer fun. It was pretty incredible to see two dolphins
jumping out of the water at the same time, though.

Supposedly, a lot of whales congregate near this lighthouse.

The mother is under the water at this point, but her son stayed on top for the duration.
