Once a week, I like to take a little bit of time out, time to look at some of the 30,000+ photos that I have stored on my computer. Little lost moments in time that I either captured with a lens, scanned or just stole from somewhere on the internet. I like to find just one and post it up and recall or relive the picture to the best of my ability. Sometimes this is a pretty easy task, and sometimes it's not that easy, one thing it has always been a lot of fun.
This week's pic I think, comes from about 1978 or so. Grandma and I had went to Sea World in Aurora Ohio with either Dad or Glenna Mae (I had been there with both of them). I had recently purchased a Kodak camera that used 126 film (as opposed to the old 110 or Poloroid Instamatic) where you had to take your pictures and drop them off for processing and then picked them up a few days later.
We were attending the Killer Whale show it was named Shamu, but not the original Shamu who was in San Diego. Before the killer whale show, there was entertainment, including a dolphin show where this one was taken.
The holding tanks were on the back side of this and you could see and feed the animals (my first time feeding a dolphin) and I will never forget Grandma seeing Shamu and because this big killer whale was laying motionless in the holding pool, that she said it was fake or nor real. About that time Shamu spit water out of her top hole quickly changing Grandma's perception.
Have yourselves a great day.
