Old Photos - Orca Whales September 2005

Looking through some old photos this morning and thought I'd share a few.  These were taken just off of Anacortes, WA in September 2005.  There are three resident pods of Orca whales that live in Puget Sound and we had the absolute honor of getting to see them several times while we lived up there.

These are some of the most magnificent creatures I've ever seen - their size, playfulness and curiosity of us is astounding.
