5-16-08 My First Post - Redoing the Past


About Redoing the Past:
After my images were being taken in large quantities and showing up on social media sites without permission, to prevent that from continuing I took my blog down.  For 5 years and 800 posts I shared about the whales, never thinking people would just take what didn't belong to them.  It has taken a while to figure out how to continue to do what I love - that is sharing about the whales.  I am rebuilding a summary of the last 5 years and including the highlights/important events I have experienced. It may take a while...I'll be adding them in their correct time frame, so they will appear in the archived list by date.

Thanks, and welcome to my first ever post!

Woke up early...walking down the hall...glanced out the window...there they were...25 killer whales of J Pod passing by...they were in a resting mode (sleeping to us)...completely silent. The water is calm and there is just about no other sound...except the whales when they would surface to breathe...all grouped together...3 to 4 shallow dives and several at a time surfacing in unison (oh what a sight and a sound)... and then a long dive. If I hadn't looked at just that moment I would have missed them completely...what a wonderful way to start my blog and to start the day!
