Something so Majestic about Dolphins

6 Comments

I’m fascinated by dolphins. They are so fast and graceful but they also enjoy playing. Watch how beautiful and graceful this dolphin is as it chases a bubble ring, catches it plays with it some more. It is amazing.

On our last trip to Florida Eva got to go to SeaWorld with her Auntie Mo. Auntie Mo watched Eva the entire time we were at IZEAFest and since she had an annual pass to SeaWorld she took Eva there for the day. Auntie Mo was so generous that Eva came home with a stuffed toy dolphin puppet that amused her to no end. Auntie Mo got that toy because of Eva’s love for the dolphins.

Eva was fascinated by the dolphins and she and Auntie Mo stayed at the dolphin area for over an hour just watching the dolphins at play. I think that Auntie Mo should write a post on the new dolphin bubbles blog that SeaWorld just put up. You see, Auntie Mo is pretty much the SeaWorld Queen, she goes all the time and she absolutely loves it. She also has some wonderful photos of the dolphins as well as ones of Eva watching the dolphins play.

It looks like many different bloggers are posting their experiences with the SeaWorld dolphins. They are also posting photos along with their experiences at SeaWorld. If SeaWorld is looking for a blogger who practically breathes underwater then they need to have Auntie Mo write one of the Dolphin Bubbles blog posts.

I think the Dolphin Bubbles blog is a really wonderful thing because it is specifically for experiences with the animals at SeaWorld. I’d love to be able to write a post for the blog talking about the amazing experiences that I had on my last SeaWorld Trip. You might recall and amazing shot I took of Shamu. This year when we go to Florida, SeaWorld is one stop we are certainly making. I’ll be sure to take plenty of video and photos and maybe our experience with the graceful dolphins can be featured on Dolphin Bubbles.

Hoodsie Cups

Hoodsie Cups
Photo-A-Day #1316

When I was a kid the one thing I really looked forward to when I went to a birthday party was whether or not there were Hoodsie Cups. I guess I got so excited over Eva’s first birthday and wanted to make sure that we had enough of them on hand that I bought a supply that has lasted us for a whole extra month. But they are so tasty.

Today was an interesting day at work. I am in a new position now and it is like I’ve changed companies completely because I have to learn a whole new dynamic. Don’t get me wrong I really like that but it is all so new and different. I am now going to be a trainer of new hires as well as an asset to existing marketing support reps. This means that I will be working one-on-one, in small groups and also in front of large groups. I have already found something that I think will make a great project and that is working with Adobe Captivate. I have some big plans for that program and it is really great because I know Adobe products very well.

I received my latest copy of Popular Photography and they are offering that if I renew for one year they will give me two Gift Subscriptions to send to friends. I’m pretty sure that means a contest is on the horizon because I would really like to offer that to someone. Two someones actually.

NBC has given the ax to freshman show My Own Worst Enemy. I’ve been watching it and I don’t hate it. It isn’t the best show out there but it is pretty decent. Then again, I am a big fan of Christian Slater. I guess I’ll have to watch Gleaming the Cube, Heathers and Pump Up The Volume to mark the passing of this show.

I installed the WordPress 2.7 Beta in an effort to fix whatever issue is happening with the indefinite loop of custom fields. They are all Blog Authors fields and I know this happened because I imported that file of old blog posts. I imported it multiple times and it created multiple versions of posts all over my blog. I went through and got rid of all of them but I think I am still going to go over each and every post with a fine toothed comb to make sure that they are all correct, and optimized for search engines.

I may spotlight some of my old posts too to bring some new life to some of the cool stuff I’ve written in the past. Going over all those posts in a quick manner today was a race back in time to 5 years ago when I started this blog. And even though I went that far back I still said to myself why didn’t I start blogging sooner.
