whales4.JPGRedondo Beach resident Natalie Goldfield sent these photographs of whales Sunday afternoon off the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

"We saw the spray while coming back from backside of Palos Verdes/San Pedro area, just after passing the Vicente lighthouse on our way back to King Harbor," she said. "We turned off the engine and while drifting, two came over and acted as if they were doing a show just for for us."

Natalie said she is hopeful the number of whales this year is similar to last, when numerous whales moved into Santa Monica Bay.

Natalie cautioned that boaters can be fined up to $10,000 for approaching within 100 yards of whales. It's OK, she said, if you are just sitting out there and a whale approaches you.

The photo at the end of dolphins was taken a week earlier.
