Gray Whale Greeting – Magdalena Bay, MX

Deep in the heart of Mexico lies a Gray whale playground known as Magdalena Bay.  It is one of three major lagoons along the Baja California coast where gray whales come to breed and calve.  Around late February and early March these calves become very inquisitive and readily approach the local whale watching pongas.  They swim up slowly and stick their heads out of the water to be scratched by the tourist and locals alike.  This is truly one of the wonders of nature that should not be missed.

  3. I’ve been to Baja, CA before but never did the grey whale adventure. I need to add this to my list of things to do now that I see your photo. Thanks for sharing.

  4. What an amazing picture! What a rush to be so close to something SO huge!

  5. What a fantastic photo, Botos! As always you capture the moment so well. Thank you for following my blog. I’m enjoying writing it and it’s good to know you like it enough to follow. Sometimes I think people must get fed up with so many blog postings. my trouble is my travels started before I started blogging so I am always trying to catch up! Keep posting your photos, I really love them.

  6. WOW!

  7. I too was that close to his eye !!! and the barnacles all over him or her.

  8. Thank you for visiing my blog. In La Jolla, California I swam with two grey whales – One swam circles around me so i stopped being freaked out and just enjoyed the experience.

  9. I love whales and dolphins. You are so lucky to get this great photo–I’m jealous (but in a really nice way…) There is a book I’m reading right now called The Dolphin in the Mirror, by Reiss (can’t think of her first name right now). It is SO COOL. It is about the research she’s done with dolphins and she does start the book with a story of helping to get a whale out into the Pacific waters when it was stuck for awhile in shallow waters and not doing well.
    By the way, thanks for stopping by my blog. I put up another recent post, because I too love to take photographs. Hope you check it out.

  13. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing!

  14. Hi, Cheers for following my blog, I am MOST chuffed :o ) That photo is totally awesome. I used to live in Western Australia on the Southernmost tip and the Sperm Whales would make their annual migration to King George Sound where they gave birth to their babies and played around in the water of the Pacific ocean. It was amazing to see these huge gentle creatures with their babies so close to the shore. My husband used to go fishing at night and would hear the water spouts close to him in the dark. I live on a river now so no whales for me, but your photo made me smile. Thanks for your amazing photography, I hope you don’t mind but I put your blog address on my site for my friends and family to check you out. Your work is amazing and your sense of humour gives real humanity to your posts.
