My friend Carol from Hawaii's Kohala Coast has written an excellent article Winter Waves Signal the Start of Humpback Whale Season. Did you know that the word for Humpback whales is kohala?
Carol gives a list of whale behavior which you may find interesting, and she links to The Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary as well.
Carol's article has great information--swim over and check it out!

A Future Without Fish?
The NYTimes has an article on the possible upcoming global collapse of fish populations worldwide.
29% of species have been fished so heavily or are so affected by pollution or loss of habitat that they're down to 10% of previous levels--aka as "collapse."
There are those against the prediction--the Bush administration as you would expect in their science-iness kind of way--yet 2048 is estimated as the target date after data from 1950--2003 was studied within all 64 large marine ecosystems worldwide.
Overfishing, pollution, loss of habitat = a recipe for "A Future Without Fish."
You'll find a link in the article to the journal Science where this study appears.
All the Dreamyfish say, let's Save the Fishes and Oceans! It's not too late, and they're are many things which can help if we begin now to avoid A Future Without Fish.

Bridled weed whiting
Welcome to Dreamyfish Art!
Here's a Bridled weed whiting, aka Siphonognathus radiatus, from Cockburn Sound, Western Australia. He seems to be hiding yet posing for you simultaneously...but you might do the same if you had a name like his!

Aquarium Lore
Today I found a cool new blog concerning fishies called Aquarium Lore which you may like!
ART? No tropical fish portraits are completed just now...but stay tuned, fish-lovers...and scroll down just a ways to see the Dreamyfish SlideShow, if you like.
You may want to mosey over to my Cosmic Persona Designs Gallery, or take a break with Secret Moon Art where you'll see recently published images direct from my drafting board!
Besides: if you like cats, politics, cat photos, and limericks all schmooshed up together--and who doesn't?--try Lim's Limericks where the cats are politically inclined...and a bit pithy in their opinions as well.
Art On!
