Shelter Cove is way up the Northern California coast. It was a good 12 hour drive, but well worth it! We had great weather and huge waves. These are mostly night shots taken on the coast.

Blue whales feed and mate in the Sea of Cortez, Baja California every year. We spent some time this year in the Sea of Cortez photographing Blue Whales, Finback Whales, Humpback Whales and False Killer Whales.
The Blue Whale, Balaenoptera musculus, is the largest animal on the earth. Blue Whales from the North Pacific stock are often seen migrating north along the pacific coast in spring and summer and in Baja Ca in the winter months to spring. We have photos from Santa Barbara and Baja California’s’ Sea of Cortez.
We were fortunate enough to have the whales feeding in front of us on our recent trip to Loreto, Baja.
We will have many images posted to our stock site soon of the Blue whales in action.

Whale watching in Baja California is one of the greatest adventures anyone can do!
We visited San Ignacio Lagoon and stayed with Baja Ecotours. The Staff at Campo Cortez exceeded our expectations and made our trip great. During the months of December through April Gray Whales winter birthing and mating sanctuary is the San Ignacio Lagoon. Included are some of the many photographs we took above and below the water.
More photos will be posted on our stock site here soon.
