This is a shot of a whale we took while out recreational cod fishing recently. I (Elizabeth) took the one of his head, which was so close to our boat it was frightening yet so calming and relaxing. I am so afraid of whales coming this close, but this one seemed different - though I do not know how to explain it. My husband Wayne said he couldn't understand how come I was so relaxed, for I am normally yelling at him to get going and banging on the boat with whatever I can get to make a noise. I am still in awe over my being so calm and collected! My husband put his hand in the water waving and splashing the water around and the whale drifted up so close to the back of the boat, where he was frolicking. I think it wanted attention and someone to give it attention.   Submitted By: NULL
