Gray whale

This is not about gardening but I had an exciting sighting this evening during a walk along the Redondo boardwalk with Melinda. We saw a young gray whale! It was about 30 feet long and still mostly black. We watched it for about an hour, floating along near the surface and coming up several times about every 5 minutes. What a treat. By the time we left, lots of people had come down to watch and take pictures. (We didn't have cameras or phones with us.)
