Rita's Dolphins

Dolphins....I absolutely love dolphins! I hope to have more in here as time goes by....but for now this is it! If I do nothing more here than to get someone else open their eyes to the beauty of Dolphins....then I have accomplished a major goal for this page.

I believe that the Dolphin's future rest in the hands of our children. All children...everywhere! What we show them, they remember.

Here are a couple of pictures that I took at Ft. Walton Beach, Florida in 1995. Yes, they were taken at the Gulfarium. But for a "land-locked" dolphin fanatic...this place was a taste of heaven! The first picture is the only dolphin that I have ever touched...which was an amazing experience. We were watching the "show" and she swam right over to me(I was standing apart from the others) and on purpose chunked the ball on my head! The trainer said that she had never done anything like that before...and would I like to get closer. Would I?! Bliss...it was just sheer bliss...as any dolphin lover will tell you. Words just can not describe the feeling. One of these days...I hope to swim with a dolphin, or a group of dolphins in the wild....this is my dream...
