Nature

Was it worth waking up before the sun? Absolutely. The iPhone isn’t great at nature photography from far away, but it’s absolutely Whale Wednesday in Okinawa! The humpbacks are here for another month mating and giving birth before they head back to the Bering Strait. There is no krill here for them to eat, but the waters are safe so they like hanging out here.  I saw 4 of them jump today. Probably all males desperate to impress the ladies.

I’ve enjoyed Okinawa immensely. But knowing that I can dive with these magnificent creatures has made me really excited about my next trip!!!

I’m am amazed that the whales were not scared of the boats at all, and I feel like they were putting on a little bit of a performance for us today!

That’s awesome! Okinawa’s whales truly are magical the way they interact so fearlessly feels like a special connection with nature. Can’t wait to hear about your next adventure. those whales might just steal the spotlight again! 🐋💙🤗
