It was the same old morning. Coffee and pills. Ease into the day. Hope the pain was going to keep it's distance. Than I saw what I had always hoped to see in the bay on my morning coffee. 6:22 AM a whale broke the surface of the water and came into my view. I was thrilled! The birds were following it's every move. Looking for a meal I'm sure. I was glued to the binoculars. For 20 mins and 8 time I saw this great animal of the inland waters of Puget Sound. The water here on our big bay are VERY shallow for about half the bay. There must be a lot of food in the bay this morning. The Minke Whale was in the deep part right up to the edge of the shallows where it then drops off and gets very deep. It was thrilling and a little worry some to. Was this a sick animal looking to beach it self and die. It was so close to where it was sand on a extra low tide. As I watched and wondered the Minke came up and dove down showing it's Fluke (tail), and then was gone. I have not seem the whale since. What a morning coffee. Though I am going to keep an eye on the up come extra low tide in a few hours today.
