When I...Hey Mosura, sorry for the delayed response. When I saw your note about the River Ness, I thought..."Loch Ness". Which is interesting, because there were a few times looking at the mother whale that she looked like a Loch Ness Monster with small lumpy bits above the water. You can see she has a series of "lumps" (I suppose of blubber) and occasionally she was just a series of lumps sticking out of the water, and did look a little like THE monster. Disclaimer: Of course, I do not mean in any way to judge or disparage the whale, and I understand that in the whale-world, these (blubbery?) lumps are considered appropriately feminine and very sexy! (As they are in the human world, dear.)Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380216351005921687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980511014742857454.post-50500198599722108862008-08-24T22:05:00.000+10:002008-08-24T22:05:00.000+10:00That would be a great walk.

I was once on a path by the River Ness right in the centre of the city of Inverness, Scotland. A huge seal had swam up river and was swimming round and about. Then it lunged out of the water up onto the grass lawns of the park. People were walking down a footpath just a few metres away totally oblivious to what was happening,Mosurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786494432479216149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980511014742857454.post-60373362631076404362008-08-24T20:55:00.000+10:002008-08-24T20:55:00.000+10:00Yes, weather was great.
