World Whale Day 2023
I've seen a few whales over the years. Some were at sea while on cruises in the Navy. Others were on the Pacific Coast around Catalina island. I was always dumbfounded by the majesty of these giant marine mammals and I have always wanted them to be protected.My childhood was dotted with artwork inspired by these creatures and I'm afraid some of those efforts failed the test of realism. This is why I abhor the thieving killers of marine mammals from Japan, Norway, and Iceland and their selfish spin on taking what is not theirs.
