Whale Watching

She didn't think she'd been here before, and truth be told she didn't know there was a beach this close to the north lands. It was a strange beach, the sand was black and the water was colder than other beach waters, but she wasn't exactly here for a swim. The moment she had tested the water with a daring paw, she squeaked from the icy cold water and left it at that. Besides, the black sandy beach was far more interesting then going for a swim, so she wandered along the edges of the beach, gazing at the trees and watching the gulls fly overhead. At one point, she heard something in the water and when she looked, she could see gray shapes bobbing around and spouts of water shooting up here and there. "Whoa! Whales!" She watched in awe as she found a spot to sit and whale watch from the shore. While she wished she could get a better look, she didn't dare go into that freezing water. The last thing she wanted to do was walk back home soaking wet.
