Mermaid’s View


After a long day of swimming with whales and dolphins, a group of mermaids stop to rest for a while. They bob gently about on the water’s surface, relaxing and taking in the view. They see calmness ahead. Calmness all around in fact. The clear, cool blue is all they can see for miles around. Soothing. Enchanting. The occasional star overhead appears from behind a cloud. They sing along with whale song carried on the gentle breeze. Gentle waves lap against them as they welcome in another night. Soon, it will be time to go to their homes… their ‘lairs’…

    What waits beneath as they lay there floating and taking in the beauty? One of them feels a nudge from beneath, then a scraping along her scales… VK
    Great pix by the way 🙂

      Thanks, VK.
      The nudge and the scraping was from one of the dolphins they were with earlier, to help to guide them home!

      Thanks, Deb.
      I like to end them so I can return to them, if needed, at a later time…
      The photos are actually computer generated from a piece of software I downloaded called Bryce, that I’m still trying to get used to. These have turned out quite well!

    Um, so it’s just me that wants to go with those mermaids and cause a riot somewhere?

    What could be more chilled than mermaids, whales and dolphins in cool blue water! Perfect 🙂
