I've never seen a whale, or even a dolphin, even though we have been to places frequented by them. Oh well, one day, one day...
....peter:): Hi Sheila... it makes me very happy to bring you this collage of Whales and Dolphins today....petersmile

Voir des dauphins et des baleines doit être un merveilleux spectacle. Et les dauphins sont mieux en liberté.
....peter:): C'est un événement spectaculaire de voir des dauphins et des baleines dans le même temps Cajera... et je suis d'accord que les dauphins appartiennent à l'état sauvage et non pas dans un spectacle maritime....Bisous....peter/pierresmile

It must have been a wonderful experience to watch the dolphins playing in the Carribean Sea -the dolphins are animals of a special poetic flair, they are said to have an own language and to listen to music! Do you know the fine story about Arion and the dolphins?

"According to Herodotus' account of the Lydian empire under the Mermnads, Arion attended a musical competition in Sicily, which he won. On his return trip from Tarentum, avaricious sailors plotted to kill Arion and steal the rich prizes he carried home. Arion was given the choice of suicide with a proper burial on land, or being thrown in the sea to perish. Neither prospect appealed to Arion ...He asked for permission to sing a last song to win time.
Playing his kithara, Arion sang a praise to Apollo, the god of poetry, and his song attracted a number of dolphins around the ship. At the end of the song, Arion threw himself into the sea rather than be killed, but one of the dolphins saved his life and carried him to safety at the sanctuary of Poseidon at Cape Tainaron."
....peter:): I read your story about Arion and enjoyed it Philine... the Dolphins play in the waves along side of the boats and put on a wonderful dance for us....petersmile
Thank you Peter.
....peter:): You are most welcome me LADY....petersmile
