Did I Mention...

that I Love Killer Whales "Orcas"?????? Well I sure do.

Sea World 5-23-09

We had a wonderful trip to Sea World over Memorial Day weekend. Of course, the highlight for me was seeing the beautiful orcas. I hate the idea of orcas being in captivity, but I am thankful to be able to get close up to these magnificent animals, and places like Sea World make that possible. Here's a few pics from the trip

Going to Sea World

I'm sooooo excited! My family and I are going to Sea World in San Antonio for Memorial Day weekend. I'm most excited, of course, about seeing the killer whales, and while I do feel bad to know that there are killer whales in captivity, it does make someone like me, who will probably never get a chance to see them in the wild, appreciate that there are places like Sea World where I can get close to these beautiful animals that I love so much. :-)

Orca Photos(I do not claim copyrights to any of these photos. I found them on various websites)

My newest "adopted" orca "Cookie"

I just adopted another orca named "Cookie", and I'm probably going to adopt his mother "Oreo" and brother "Doublestuff" soon.

This is the adoption certificate I received from the Whale Museum.

Rare Pink Dolphin found in Louisiana

The result of albinism(I think I spelled that word right?)

The dolphin recently spotted in Louisiana is very pink with red eyes and appears to be healthy. Read more on this dolphin by clicking the link on the right.

"Orca" (poem written by me)

"Orcas, killer whales, wolves of the
sea. Black and white beauties so
graceful and free.

One of God's creations, their life spent
in water. They're a family, a pod, fathers,
mothers, sons and daughters.

Swimming together night and day,
enjoying some playtime and hunting
for prey.

They need to be free from the day they are
born. Don't capture and teach them tricks to
perform.

They're wild animals and should be left alone.
To be with their families swimming into the
unknown.
