Nellie

Her eyes are blue because of cataracts. She's actually really healthy for her old age.. she's 57 years old, and the world's oldest dolphin in captivity.

And another beautiful shot. The open mouth with the bright pink spot really does the trick here. It's just so... attracting. She really is a babe ;)

Thanks, and thanks for the fav!

I swear she knows when a camera's around... or at least me, because I have my camera on me about 3/4 of the time. She'll come right up and start posing... such a silly girl.

Aw, as much as I know anthropomorphizing is bad, I can't help but think she's trying to say "HEY! Lookit me! I only just met you, and I LOVE YOU!" That, or "Feed me. Now." :lol:

My cat has a partial cataract in one eye, and it makes her eye all blue-y purple, too. And I've heard of horses' eye color changing after an acute injury to the head. I wonder why that is?

She actually knows me really well. I visit her pretty often. And she's awesome. Thanks!
