Beluga Whale - A Gentle Giant

Posted by Anne (White Rock, Canada) on 3 April 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

This particular whale is pregnant - so before too long they will be having a new baby at the Vancouver Aquarium. The whale like the dolphins cannot hear only by their "sonar" system. They respond to the trainers hand signals - even from under the water!

Well! I am back and missed being away so long due to ill health. It was a bit of a struggle to find energy to stay on my computer and post. My daughter Lesley and her husband Robin, gave me this wonderful gift of a cruise to Alaska and Lesley and I had a whale of a time! I could just live on that ship - absolutely wanted for nothing! Hope to hear from you all! Don't know how much I can get around posting comments - so will probably have to keep them brief - but will try to get around as much as I can! Thanks to all my friends for their good wishes!

Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! I am a bit out of practice at both taking and editing decent photographs - so help me if you can!
