This morning my husband I were treated to bright blue sky, dark blue ocean, and the sun glinting off the stark white surf! All this magnificence on the Oregon Coast in late December! This is an is courtesy of unexpected and glorious Christmas gift for all of us beach dwellers.
As we sat enjoying our breakfast while relishing the clear blue sky and the ocean views, we were treated to yet another unexpected and happen-chance sight: the spouts of whales just off shore! There must have been a pod of whales enjoying their breakfast at the same time as we were enjoying ours. Needless to say, we lingered over our eggs and toast just a bit longer than usual. The whales, judging by the movement of the spouts, seemed to linger over their breakfast a bit too, before moving onto the work of their day.
So the whales (probably gray whales) are making their annual migration from the cold Alaskan waters to the warm waters of Baja just in time for
"Whale Watch Week" along the Oregon Coast. Isn't it great that they timed everything so perfectly.
