the world from my hammock


This blog is all me. I'll post pictures that make me smile, make me think, question conventional attitudes. Sometimes I'll write posts but most of the time I'll be reblogging photos I find on tumblr. Feel free to ask me questions if you like. I'll probably be spending quite a bit of time here. I hope you enjoy viewing the world from my hammock for however long you are here.

The pictures I post are either mine, found on tumblr, or are assumed to be of the public domain. If I inadvertently post any copyrighted work, please let me know.

Ask me anything

Katina, a 34-year-old killer whale, gave birth in SeaWorld Orlando’s multimillion-gallon Shamu Stadium following a 45-minute labor. Moments later, the baby whale instinctively swam to the surface for its first breath. This is the seventh calf born to Katina, an 18-foot-long, 5,400-pound killer whale. “It’s a terrific day for all of us at SeaWorld,” said Kelly Flaherty-Clark, curator of animal training.  “Katina is an experienced mom and she appears to be bonding quickly with her baby.”

SeaWorld veterinarians and trainers remain cautiously optimistic about the progress of the baby and her mother and are encouraged by the bonding they’ve already seen. This calf is the 27th killer whale born at the SeaWorld parks in Orlando, Fla., San Diego, Calif. and San Antonio, Texas.  Sixteen whales have been born at SeaWorld Orlando. SeaWorld’s killer whale breeding program is the most successful in the world.
