These photos were taken from our Lincoln City, Oregon, home during a terrible March storm. The pictures say it all.

I had one of the greatest experiences ever! At least a dozen gray whales swam by my house in Lincoln City, Oregon. The whales were migrating so close to the beach that I couldn't believe it! They were spouting right before where the breakers start coming into shore. For the first time in my life I watched a whale do a complete breach! It came out of the water and slowly made an arch dive like a porpoise. It sort of hung in the air for a moment before plunging down into the water again. It had to be one of the most incredible sights I have ever witnessed! I watched them out of my bedroom window for at least 20 minutes showing their heads, backs, or tails, before they left to the deeper ocean and out of sight. I thank God for allowing me to have this incredible experience once in my lifetime!!
