This is amazing. I love humpback season here in Hawaii. They are my absolute fav! Jealous that you saw this and captured it as well!
Joni Eskridge replied:
It was so much fun, Megan. This was a young whale, with momma not too far away, who was just enjoying life, it appeared. He actually jumped 2-3 times while we were watching. This time he jumped and did a twist too. Such a thrill!

Hi Joni... I like your image. I am amazed that these huge animations are such good jumpers. Nicely timed... Cheers Bob fv

Thanks Bob. This was a little guy, but yes, amazing that they can get out of the water so easily. This one jumped several times twisting in somersaults, having a great time while mamma was hanging out not far away.
