Awe inspiring creatures for sure.<br /><br />Milady: I could picture your camp up on the cliff, looking out to sea hoping to spot a whale. I would love to read the book you wrote. That idea has inspired me to create a little book with the kids about the right whale. thanks for sharing your story, i conjured up memories of whale watching too and of my one and only trip to Seattle.<br /><br />Lilli: so happy to have you back! it is amazing that there are whales still being hunted, i try to forgive the ignorance and greed of our ancestors.<br />last night while playing a card game greta said , " whales should only be taken out of the ocean and eaten if they get really old and die by themselves...and it should be the same for chickens."<br />amen!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558474529440960696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301872599558329533.post-15524945647318932442010-11-26T20:52:48.072-05:002010-11-26T20:52:48.072-05:00Beautiful, Rachel!

And I think I'm in love with Henry... so glad that I got my computer up and running again.<br /><br />As you know, Norway has a vast coast line; luckily the whale hunting has more or less ended.<br />My father's family got rich from the hunting of whales. Nothing to be proud of.<br /><br />Happy weekend, friends!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301872599558329533.post-16055107237266316572010-11-26T11:07:31.684-05:002010-11-26T11:07:31.684-05:00Dear Rachel, when i was a kid in Seattle i started...Dear Rachel, when i was a kid in Seattle i started a whale watching club. it composed of me and my BFF.<br />i begged my dad to drive us to a cliff at a far away park and we'd set up "camp". i wrote a book once- wish i could find it.<br />whales are so magical and wise. <br />lovely post that really flooded me with fond Northwest memories. <br />thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155178772664719605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301872599558329533.post-45945350766071342672010-11-25T15:03:56.137-05:002010-11-25T15:03:56.137-05:00Beautiful black and white photos ...
Thank goodne...Beautiful black and white photos ...<br /><br />Thank goodness for whales, they are such wonderfully mammoth creatures.<br /><br />We have humpbacks which traverse the East Coast of Australia from June to November (from memory) for breeding etc. Their numbers are increasing every year and so is the site-seeing tourist industry, which is good because it's very respectful towards and educative of the whales.<br /><br />There's an albino Humpback among the migrating whales called 'Migaloo' which the entire State of Queensland waits to hear news of every year! <br /><br />I think about this time last year I was reading Moby Dick.Makeminemidcenturyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304535583168822160noreply@blogger.com
