Week #2 Music {52 Snapshots of Life}

A bit late in posting my {52 Snapshot of life} this week, but I was wanting to post shots from the Whale Welcoming celebration that was held yesterday afternoon. It was the 5th annual Whale Welcoming event to be held here on Kauai. I am fortunate that the venue is a quick walk from my house. So we camera in hand I headed out.
The sky was a beautiful blue and the ocean was so calm making it easy to spot the various whale spouting in the near waters. It was a celebration of our ocean, the earth and our relationship with both. It was interesting to listen to all the wonderful music, which included drums, heart flutes, dideridoo, rattles and  shakers. Many gave heartfelt  testimonies of their relationships with the whales. It was a very moving musical celebration.

    I've never heard of the Whale Welcoming Ceremony on Kauai... It would have been interesting to have been there!

      Yes, it was the 5th one, I attended briefly last year as we had a seal hauled out near the venue. Interesting once the music started we did see more whale activity in the area but no breaches or tail slaps, just blows.

    What a great event. Music is an excellent way to celebrate our symbiotic relationship with the sea.

    That sounds like such a spiritual way to recognize the majesty of the whales. It's good to take time to celebrate the wonders around us, and to honor the music both species make!
