It's been a great time to see Blue Whales. Since I stayed home from work today so my husband could take care of some important stuff, I was going to take my daughter whale watching.
Needless to say, we didn't make it.
I really needed some time on a boat and I really needed to see some blue whales. Both just get me through the craziness, we are blessed to see grays, humpbacks, blue whales and dolphins here in southern California waters.
But alas, it wasn't meant to be. But I ran across this video and it made my day a lot better.
I still keep an eye on cetacean issues, whales and dolphins are important to me because, well I can't tell you why really. I just think that we have too many things that we're letting die on this planet and that we continue to allow these animals to perish for no good reason (I know, there are too many human beings dying, biodiversity, you name it) is beyond me. Sentient, intelligent and fascinating creatures, we just, I can't abide by it.
And well, it has just been one of those things that I keep an eye on, even if I don't do as much as I wish I could.
I hope this reminds you why we need to keep saving whales. We get so much cruddy news everyday about the environment. Sometimes we just need something that's positive and not very relevant.
