Reflections on an Orca
Orca or Killer Whale (Orcinus orca)Key Biscayne, Florida ~ January 14, 2008
We want to think they will "behave" and be our friends, but wild animals are wild animals, and we need to remember that. Recent tragedy reminds us. But how beautiful they are, how big, how powerful. How much to be appreciated and respected.

Looks Like a Dinosaur?
Key Biscayne, Florida ~ January 14, 2008
This is one of my favorites among the animal photos I've taken. It is so in focus and in your face, plus the iguana's tongue is visible, and I can just feel it about to take another bite of the leaf!
It looks for all the world the way I imagine a dinosaur, although we now know that dinosaurs are related to modern-day birds.

A Blue-striped Fish
I have no idea what kind of fish this is, but it looked a little like a snapper when I tried to identify it. I was just happy I got it in focus, and I think it's a cool looking fish. You can see the pale blue lines better if you enlarge the photo, and if you know what it is, please tell me!

Lucky Day
White Pelican and Dolphin Key Biscayne, Florida ~ January 14, 2008
This little girl was visibly ecstatic when she was chosen out of the crowd by the dolphin trainer for a personal encounter with this intelligent animal. I think all of us in the audience tried to live the experience through her hands and senses. What fond memories she will have, as she clearly loved being with the dolphin.
