That's right... it's time for Oceanic Blog-A-Thon 2010, hosted by Crazy Cris over at Here and There and Everywhere, in celebration of World Oceans Day.
With the events unfolding in the Gulf, what better time than now to explore and reflect on this vast watery world. I would like to wish you all Happy World Oceans Day, but lately, when I think about the oceans, I get really sad...

Yes Lily, I've already read your last year's post. It's my first time to join the WOD Blog-A-Thon and I am so proud to be a part of it.
Hey Lily!
Next year I'll be sure to get the announcement for the Blog-A-Thon out a whole month ahead of World Oceans Day instead of just a measly 5 days... sorry! :o(
Thanks for the shout-out anyhow! The more people start thinking about how important our oceans are, the better! ;o)
I'll go read your last year's post, Lily, I participated this year for the first time! Our oceans need everything they can get that help them out. We need them!
Didn't know such a blog day existed, so I too missed it; but agree with you the situation in The Gulf is very sad. Everyday I hope to hear some good news regarding it; but...the sadness continues.

I will begin posting photos I took during my two week stay in Florida.
please stop by frequently and walk in my shoes...
or better yet barefoot..
the sand makes the loveliest squeaking noise..
unlike any other in the world..
perhaps it's the quartz..
I'm truly sorry you've never experienced our lovely Emerald Coast Beaches..
truly beautiful and spectacular!
warm sandy hugs..
Loui♥
I'm with you...it is all so very, very heartbreaking...sigh. Love you, Janine XO
I missed Oceans Day, unfortunately. Moving has taken all extra moments it seems. I feel sad when I think of the oceans, too. It is a very sad time for humanity and the planet they inhabit.
lily, you are ALWAYS so sweet, to stop by and leave the nicest comments...just knowing you've been there warms my heart! hope your days are filled with the things that you love the most, my friend!
Just checking on you, my dear friend! Sending much love, Janine XO
Hi Lily, sorry I didn't get a chance to comment on your WOD post when you posted. I had something heartbreaking happen later in the day and took some time off.
BUT, I reread your post from last year and you're right, it is still very relevant. When you stated that a "minor spill from a tanker" can kill an ocean last year, did you ever imagine what we would be facing today? You know how I feel about about our oceans and beaches, they've been the cornerstone of my life. If there is one thing that defines me the most, it is my love of the shore. The news is devastating, but I see the photos posted by the Gulf Coast Bloggers everyday, of white sandy beaches and beautiful expanses of blue water and wish that everyone who lives elsewhere could see how they bravely hold on and how devoted they are to saving our precious Gulf and its inhabitants — both human and animal and it gives me hope.
Yes,lily our oceans need to be cared for.
I've got an award for you over at my blog....YOUR blog is heartwarming and that's why I've given you this.Come see.
A big "hello!" and a hug for you!!! ~Janine xo
That's so true. We may not feel like celebrating with the epic oil disaster right now, but it's a good time to raise awareness.
It is so sad, isn't it? I can barely stand to watch the news. It makes my stomach hurt.
It's truly heartbreaking Lily. I read your post from last year...who would have thought...
hello dear lily!! just stopping by to give you a (((big hug))) and to let you know that you're on my heart! hope you are doing well :)
