2024: Sea Otter. Taken off of Tofino, BC, Canada.

We went on a whale watching trip and did see whales – humpback whales. However, most of my photos of them just showed the humpback or a tail in the distance. I was too slow for the one close up that I could have gotten of one of the whales. But we also saw sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters, and birds (but no tufted puffins). It is really hard to take photos on a boat that is always moving in the waves, but there were some good ones including this one of a sea otter watching us watch them.
