Whale Moblie.

Just when I thought they had it all....I come across this Whale Mobile!!



It is the perfect touch for a child's room (or whatever life stage deems this necessary, no judgements). The mobile is homemade and includes narwhals, blue whales, humpback whales and sperm whales...whomever has this hanging above their bed is going to just love the custom designed, made to order mobile and undoubtedly become a whale lover if they are willing or not.



Once available on etsy.com, this product has been recently sold out. Perhaps an email or a bit of begging could help in making yourself a proud whale mobile owner.

A Little Food For Thought...

Sometimes pictures just give you such a better perspective on whales.

Up Close And Personal.

Ah! This is amazing and something I could not help posting...especially because it takes place off the coast of LaLa Land.

Watch this video as a kayaker gets up close and personal with a pod of blue whales

Blue whales are the planet’s largest animals and their hearts alone are the size of a compact car. But Rick Coleman, the kayaker who took on the whales, says it was worth the risk.

“Oh, they are just a beautiful, magnificent creature,” Coleman said. “So we’re just blessed these last few weeks that we get to go out there and share the same water as them.”

Humpbacks Make An Early Appearance In SoCal.



If I was only there to take advantage :(

According to Outdoors, action and adventure blog, the Humpback whales have arrived about a month early this year (usually expected in May). The Southern California residents and visitors should consider themselves quite lucky - while wrapping up the gray whale migration North, people are potentially able to see both the gray and humpback whales in action.



Humpback whales are among the most showy whales and make for remarkable sightings more often than not. In fact, I have had my best whale watches while in the company of these guys. In fact, yours truly took the pictures within this very post last year - There were so many whales, I could not even eat a snack (an occurrence that rarely happens for me).



And if these two types of whales are just not quite enough, don't you worry - perhaps you are familiar with the blue whale...? Oh, just the largest animal to have ever lived is coming soon to the SoCal area very soon (early June). I think a whale watching trip is in store for you and your 100 closest friends.
