Robbie just walked into the office, looked over my shoulder at the computer monitor and said, “You are a beluga-aholic.”
I reckon there are worse things to be!
I could have sat and watched these whales for the rest of my life. They are so beautiful, their faces so innocent and their eyes so kind. I have to be honest though, I can’t help but wonder what it would feel like to bump into one of these mystical beauties while drifting about in a canoe in Arctic waters.
