[belugas at the Shed Aquarium of Chicago, IL]
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.
I wonder the same…they are mystical… : )
Truly mystical.
It would be like having an angels voice shot straight through your veins.
QUITE!!!
Ohhhh imagine a live spent swimming and gliding around in all that blue… and I say you would make a lovely beluga lady.
GUFFAW!!!
You speak the truth!
They do these beautiful, slow motion barrel rolls you know.
So lovely and graceful…
Isn’t the Shedd Aquarium just an awe inspiring, beautiful place?
It is.
It is.
If I lived in the area I’d get a membership and visit once a week. Maybe on Monday mornings…
Nephew Bryce would join you in watching the beluga forever! He is WHALE CRAZY right now!
I know he is! I would love, so much, to go to an aquarium with him. Give him a smooch for me.
Just to feed your addiction…the next time you head north:

Oh, heck!
Violet is also a beluga-holic. It’s like she has a quota to fill on the amount of times we sing Baby Beluga in a day!
But it’s SUCH a good song…
beluga-holic: love it. only robert would come up with such a moniker.
Too true.
You should hear some of the other things he calls me…random and weird.
I visit Sea World right by where we live and stare at them for what feels like infinite amounts of time. They are one of the most beautiful, soulful creatures I have ever laid eyes on.
