    Wonderful shots, Rosa, give Mr Rosa a pat on the back. :thumb:

    That first picture of the whales fluke is fantastic. I just love pictures like that.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Rosa and thanks for posting the latest pics, really great!

    I just love the one of the tail, do you know what kind of whale or dolphin it is? Is it the same one as seen from above?

    Sorry to hear that your Sony digi was stolen. I wonder if there is any chance of "finding" it again?

    hi LoL and kedi-gato pleased you like them, just asked hubs what kind of whales he said they were massive and pretty sure they are humpback whales, i doubt i will see my sony digi again hes going to see iff he can claim for it, pleased i didnt give him my fuji or kodak, its such a shame as he had loads of nice ones of the whales.
