A Whale of a Tale Winner
Congratulations to Elizabeth Goggins, with this winning entry:
"For my 41st birthday I talked a friend of mine into joining me in Baha, Mexico to go whale watching. He came from Washington, DC and I, the US Virgin Islands. We had heated discussions the whole way there because many wanted to turn Leguna San Ignacio, the last place on earth grey whale could give birth in peace, into a salt factory. On my birthday I was petting a grey whale and they and their babies were all around us. On the second day as he, a trained opera singer, sang our little fishing boat was surrounded by a mother and calf playing, a school of dolphin and numerous birds flying overhead. Magical, mystical day and he gave up supporting the factory."

Whales are mystical animals, some Natice Americans of the coast say, the whale symbolizes the breathing of the earth. For me whales are mystical animals can one look into the soul like wolves. The whale stands for power but also for family. Whales are something special.
In a former life I was Napoleon
In 2007, I watched as a pod of whales frolicked there way past the Ferry terminal in Campbell River BC Canada. No fee was paid no boat created chaos as a spectator sport whale watching has become. Just grace and beauty and freedom to do as they pleased. I watched as a representative of the Campbell River Museum in awe and blessed the moment I saw them. I have been drawn to the whale as my totem for three decades now. I have drawn them, I have painted them in ceramic form and I never ever forget the gift of sight that one day as I watched them in the place they call home. Blessings <3
