Close encounter of the whale kind!!

Last November, Russ and I spent a day at Seaworld. The highlight of the visit had to be dinner with Shamu. You go backstage to enjoy a buffet while the trainers put on a mini show. The pool is much smaller, so you feel really close to the whales. Once the whales are put away the trainers come around to the tables answering questions. Russ took the opportunity to ask a bunch of questions about being a trainer and the animals. The guy was really sweet answering all of Russ's questions with a smile. We had a great time and it was an excellent way to end our day in Seaworld.

Created the LO for a paint challenge. I used paint to mimic the look of water on the far left side and below the bottom right corner of the main photo. The colors are more distinct IRL.
