It was advertised as a vintage (1950's) fabric patch for quilting.

KILLERS IN EDEN : NATURE LIBRARY FILM
Wow! I've been blogging about the ocean environment and all it's creatures, changes in sea levels, mysterious things under the sea, as well as surfers, scientists, pirates and mermaids, for four years! It seems that there is always some news that applies to this blog, and I hope that you are inspired to exercize your own research skills as well!
To celebrate I watched a DVD put out by WNET New York, in the NATURE LIBRARY, called KILLERS IN EDEN. This is not your average story about Killer Whales. This is about a small town on the coast of Australia where, for a hundred years, there was a deal between certain humans and the Killer Whales. They helped each other hunt, but with one detail. When a Team of Killer Whales preyed upon the planton eaching baleen whales that came into the bay at Eden, they would make a ruckus by smacking their tales on the water and then WAIT until the humans came to kill. Then the humans would provide the whates with the delicacy of THE TOUNGE of the baleen whale as a reward. The humans came to know the Killer Whales by name...
How mysterious! So Interesting!

BBC EARTH'S OCEAN GIANTS : TERRIFIC! FILM OH MY GOSH!
I borrowed this set from the library, but I want my own! This two DVD set had the most thrilling exciting film of Whales (all kinds - Killer Whales, Blue Whales, etc) and Dolphins that I have ever seen!
We want to save the whales, that is true, but we do need to understand that they are creatures like no other and not all docile. In this film we get to see the way Killer Whales work together to kill prey. We learn that male dolphins swim in packs / gangs and compete for a young female's interest. Some of what we get to watch was a first for the scientists and photographers involved too!
This DVD just came out in 2012 so rush to get it! Honestly! Luckily I found a couple YouTube videos from the program for you to watch! But then - I tried - something was wrong and they would not embed. One of them is called Whale Wars - Ocean Giants - BBC ONE

TOO MANY JELLY FISH?
I've been reading that there is a JELLY FISH AROUND THE WORLD AND THAT IT'S GLOBAL! While scientists seem to be not worried, I can't help but wonder how or if this ties in with all the changes in the earth's temperature that is melting ice packs and changing the weather. Be the changes part of a natural cycle, the earth responding to human use of resources, or something more mysterious, I hope to learn more soon!
