Whale Watching

While we were at the beach a week or so ago, Luciano and I climbed up to the headland to try and spot some whales! We were so lucky, literally the minute we got up there we saw a whale breaching really close to the headland. We followed it along the cliff side and then discovered it was actually two whales swimming really closely (maybe even a mumma whale and its baby)! We were so close that we could see all the barnacles and junk stuck on it's back! 
So I zoomed right in with my camera and thought I was taking all of these amazing pictures... but, well... umm... no. This is the best one:

Haha. Soo after my whale-fail shots, I did manage to get a shot of the amazing headland that we were standing on including a sneaky photo of camera-shy boyfriend (Luciano doesn't want me to put photos of him on the blog, but this was the back of his head so I figure it totally doesn't count. And you can see how amazing his hair is ;) )
The cliffs stretched all the way out as far as you could see, it was so pretty.

I also had to get Luci to snap some outfit photos while we were up there (because it was totes dramatic and windy and totally on a cliff!), so here they are!

  1. I love that you dress pretty even when you go whale watching. I would totaly be wearing a tracksuit from the early '90s.

  4. This is so awesome, it looks like a vintage ad for some coastal knit sweaters or something! I have gone whale watching before and I get pretty similar shots... the huge thing can leap out of the water multiple times and I still end up with some sort of photograph of a splash, sigh.
    Also! I know you are a vintage lovin' gal so I wanted to let you know I am doing my very first giveaway to my vintage shop! If you would like to enter, you can head over to: http://shadesofmonetmd.blogspot.com/2012/07/giveaway-braided-bandit-vintage.html

  7. it's so cool you have seen a whale, I never saw one! I'd probably go crazy and start taking pictures (like you just did!). Have you seen whales before or was it your first time? I remember when last year a friend of mine from Czech Republic came to Portugal and saw dolphins for the first time in her life, she had to see them a couple of times because she was super excited! :)

  9. What a shame you didn't get a clear photo of the whale. It must have been amazing to see one though. I've never seen anything like that!
