Photos Antarctica Frozen Waves?
The water froze the instant the wave broke through the ice.
That's what it is like in Antarctica
Water freezes the instant it comes in contact with the air. The temperature of the water is already some degrees below freezing.
Just look at how the wave froze in midair

From Leslie: oppose-trapping-season-on-otters-and-bobcats-in-illinois
my very first petition!
Yesterday Gerald and I were at breakfast at
the cafe and he was reading the outdoor section of the Peoria Journal Star. I
could see a picture of an otter and a bobcat on the page he was reading and my
blood immediately ran cold. I just knew that it was an article in favor of bill
HB 4632, which is in favor of trapping these dear creatures. I grabbed the paper
and started reading the article and sure enough, that is what it was about!
I was so upset! Otters had been trapped out
years ago and reintroduced. I can't understand why peeps would both to bring
them back, just to kill them again. There is no need. Peeps don't eat them and
in this day and age to fur trap is archaic and unnecessary. I was so upset I was
literally starting to cry. We left the cafe quickly and Gerald took me for a
ride in the country to calm me down. All the while I am ranting and raving about
this. We drive down Banner Dyke Road along the river. The ice damn was breaking
up due to the heavy rains and the river was at its wildest and most magestic. We
sat in the car watching it and admiring the pure strength of nature when a dark
little creature runs across the road in front of us. We hurridly got out of the
car to pursue it and were shocked and delighted that it was a little otter. I
have always considered the otter my special power animal. I believe firmly in
the value and worth on our planet and have waited to see one in the wild my
whole life.! I took this little otter sighting as a sign that she wanted me to
do more than just care. She wanted me to act for her future. So today, I have
created a petition I would like you to read and please consider signing. I also
encourage you to contact your state legislature representative, for those of you
who live in Illinois. I would like all peeps to sign the petition I will be
presenting to Governor Rod Blagojevich in regards to this issue. He vetoed this
bill in 2005. Thank you one and all for your kind consideration on this matter.
I hope the petition sounds professional. I have never aurthored one before and I
composed it while entertaining Lily and Evan!!!LOL
I appreciate any feedback also! love and hugs to
all! Leslie
thank you so much for your support Little
Running Deer! You are such a wonderful
friend!!! love and hugs to you always!
