Cartoon Whales and Cartoon Dolphins |

|
Interested in gray whale animations, whale pictures, swimming with dolphin cartoons or dolphin pictures? Perhaps you are planning your own swimming adventure? |

Here are two cartoon gray whale animations I made after visiting gray whales mothers and babies at their winter birthing lagoons in Baja Mexico. It was an unforgettably rewarding experience. |

Also below are a couple of 'swimming with dolphin' cartoons of play kisses. I drew them to remember the playful good time I had when I met and swam with four bottle nose dolphins in Key Largo, Florida. Scroll further down on this page to find more cartoon pictures, a free cartoon e card, and two whale books that inspire and delight.

More recently, in 2004, I had a new experience meeting gray whales (mothers and newborns) in their birthing lagoons in Baja, Mexico! We went out in small boats called pangas and waited. In the mornings, the water of the lagoon was like shimmering glass. As we slowed and finally cut the motor, I heard an enchanting sound that took my breath away. All was quite but the amazing echoes of whales breathing. It felt as if the Earth was breathing... but it was whale spouts! They were all around us making a deep rhythmic breathing sound. We barely saw anything except the very tippy-tops of a few whales, (a black water reflective footprint). It was foggy but we knew there were many whales all around us because WE COULD HEAR THEM loud and clear. We were surrounded by the amazing sound of whales breathing in every direction. What magnificent sonic breaths! Those wonderful moments still give me chills of oooh and ah. I remembered that Emerson spoke: "The earth laughs in flowers", and I want to add: "The earth breathes in whales."

Whale Watching Cartoon Sketch: Here is a cute cartoon of a little girl doing some backyard "whale-watching". A humpback whale is in her backyard wading pool! He speaks French (for some reason) and is saying "Bienvenue" (Whale-come) to her. He's doing a beautiful breach out of the pool. I wonder if he's singing? I drew this cartoon after being inspired by a children's book entitled, Dear Mr. Blueberry. It is one of my favorite stories.

Here are a few more pictures from other grey whale trips also out of Guerrero Negro (nearest city) and Laguna Ojo de Liebre (Scammon's Lagoon) in Baja Mexico. (From Baja Jones Adventures, the tour we used) Unlike the dolphin play water in Florida, this water was colder! And the bathroom at the lagoon was a unique high-rise experience!
