earth day

well, i am back from florida with many photos and stories to share. today i just wanted to pop in and wish you a

happy earth day.

and NO this is NOT an advertisement for disney...i just happen to love the OCEAN, DOLPHINS and the color BLUE... and this display at epcot center, well, it took my breath away.

i had an amazing, life changing encounter with a dolphin in the wild.

about ten years ago, i was snorkeling with my family in an area where dolphins used to be regularly fed. it is illegal to do so now, but the gentle creatures still return to this area. you can actually hear their high pitched tones when your head is under water. a huge dolphin appeared in front of me as if out of no where. he seemed to be looking at me straight in the eye. in fact i am sure we were making eye contact. i was shocked by all the scratches and scars that covered his shiny skin. i felt afraid and yet calm. something made me want to reach out to this wild being. i slowly stretched my hand out to touch the side of his face and he allowed me to do so ......... he then vanished just as quickly as he had appeared.

i think he was trying to tell me something.

thank you all for the lovely comments on my last post. it may take me a while to get back to you , but know that i am just tickled pink that you are visiting me here at my blog home.

it's good to be home.
