Personally, I’ve always considered Sundays to be a day of rest. I hardly ever workout, and I instead take the time to wait tables at brunch (ugh) and hang with Danny (yay).
Yesterday our friend Taylor called us to tell us there was a whale washed up on the shores of Sandbridge, a local beach. We jumped at the chance to take a long walk (points for sneaking in fitness!) to search for the poor whale.
after a good amount of walking- our discovery!
So wild. I’ve never seen an animal so large in all my life. The whale made Crusier look like a chihuahua.
sad.. but peaceful
getting way too close for meeee
Tons of locals were on the beach to check out the scene. According to the news, the mammal is (or was..) a Sei whale, about 40 ft in length. While it is obviously sad to see any sea animal washed up on shore, it was such an experience to view the whale up close. Poor guy!
Tonight I’m heading back to the gym for a more traditional workout (ie no whale searches..) but I just had to share these pictures. Wild!
OMG! thats so sad!!! but wow that whale is HUGE!
isn’t it sad!! everyone was respectful, it was so quiet and peaceful down there though. poor guy
I’m fully offended you didn’t tell me about the whale and/or invite me to go see!
kiddddiiinnggg. but STILL! I had no idea!
I SHOULD HAVE!!!!! We signed our lease for our oceanfront place and had Danny’s dad’s birthday dinner, my mind was in scrambles!
Oh my gosh, that’s crazy! But amazing at the same time!
Exactly how I felt!! Sad- but at the same time these things happen and it was an experience to get so close!
what the heck?! that’s the craziest thing ever… for real!!
also, i’m jealous of the all you can eat sushi from the last post. i love sushi!
wow! I can’t believe that…that’s insane! I bet the whale was massive
It was HUGE.. we could spot it from way down the beach!
Aw that’s sad:( It didn’t die from washing up on shore did it? Or was it already dead and then washed up?
Already dead then washed up
I think a boat got it or something, no word yet. I just read that Sei whales are actually endangered.. nuts!
Aw, that’s so sad! I bet you’ll remember that image forever though!
Oh my goodness poor whale! RIP!
Omg how crazy! Definitely something to always remember
