not really. San Diego really is my home, and all in all its just where i need to be. Everything is right when i am here, and no, this is not just because i have been here on "free time" but the fact that this is where i know i belong, its where I'm truly happy!

San Diego was fricken Amaze-a-crazy!!! Soooo much SW... SOOOO many photos. for all i know i may have even hit 5000.... wow. I will have so much to do now, not to mention the getting of a car, and getting of a job.... and then the getting of me and my butt back out here Permanently!!! (i can speak English... i swear!)
SW time was really cool, i got to see some pretty awesome, and adorable things(especially when it came to the baby). i also finally got to see some training sessions, and one was so cool!!! They used the three big girls, and did a triple vert spin twice! And then a bunch of other really neat triple behaviors, and after that session was over... guess who was in the same pool together? Ulises and Corky! its was only for like 10 seconds... but it was big! and there were no prombles(but that could have been due to the fact that Orkid and Kasatka were in between them... lol
Kalia was beyond cute... like the cuteness factor was at an all time high. Especially one morning, i got there bright and early, was the first one down to SCU didn't have any thing with me and she saw me, came right over, and i guess you could call it... dancing... but i was saying good morning to her, had my hands on the glass, and was kinda moving my shoulders and my head as i did so, and she did the same, lol. what a cutie!

I will end it there, only because i will be re-pasting some stuff and the journal is already gonna be super long! I think this will also be my last trip report... don't feel like they are necessary anymore.
But definitely... Thank you so much to a certain friend for everything!!! I had such an incredible time!!! I'll be back soon!! Miss ya already!!! :hug:
And thank you to a couple other people for the little things you did, and the photo opportunities!!

Flickr updates will be plentiful! There will be quite a bit making its way over there, lol. (link at the bottom)

To anyone who may be interested, yes i do sell my photos as prints, please message me with the details.
I will also open up purchases for personal clay projects. I have recently been asked by a couple people for certain figures, and decided that i would extend an invitation to my watchers, or anyone else who happens by my page. If you would like to discuss one for your self, please note, or email me, and we can discuss the details!! :D

Still going strong on the believe challenge, am stuck on a few of the tracks right now, but I'm sure i will get past my block eventually.
I'd also really like to see some more people join in! Here are some tips:

(1) Complete it any way you like. Photography, traditional media, literature, digital media, pixels, etc. Anything.
(2) And you don't have to make them include Killer Whales either! Just submit whatever you think best represents the idea!
(3) If you don't own the Believe soundtrack, interpret the titles of the songs and do it that way!

The tracks of Believe are...
(1) Call of the Sea [link]
(2) Discovery [link]
(3) Breach [link]
(4) Danger Below
(5) We Are One
(6) Share the Joy [link]
(7) One Drop [link]
(8) Something Far Greater
(9) Testimony
(10) Flood [link]
(11) Shamu, Shamu [link]
(12) Pass the Torch
(13) Celebration
(14) One World
(15) Believe Walkout
(16) Black and White [link]
(17) I Speak Shamu [link]
(18) Lilt
(19) Shamu Overture [link]
(20) Mother and Child [link]
(21) Trainers [link]
(22) Shamu Finale [link]


My flickr account. [link]
Just contains many more of my SWC shots. A lot of it is stuff i would never post as art, but is more just there to share with a friend(or whoever else may enjoy them). Everything there is in a rough-draft, un-edited, etc... version. All of my photos are viewable by friends only. If you would like to see them, please message me first, so i know who you are. This is not meant to be rude, but is a precaution brought on by those select few who can't seem to respect others property.... :unimpressed:
