I want to thank Eileen and James for fixing my computer, free of charge! God bless them in a special way!
It is awesome to see all of the different situations in nature that are captured in these photos.
Imagine Creator God, Who has the ability to be everywhere at once, looking at all the scenes in the world, and the universe, everyday. He must look upon His creation with great satisfaction! I do believe though, that He has a lot of grief as He views this planet! He will NOT let it go on forever! His Son, Jesus, is coming back, soon, to take all those who have surrendered their heart and life to Him, to be with Him in heaven! There, God's creation will be unmarred by sin, and will NOT groan under the heavy burden of sin! Romans 8:22, "For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now."
The Blaze did A great job on this story, and I had to share these pictures with you!
From The Blaze:
Since April, National Geographic has been accepting submissions for its Traveler Photo Contest. With the official deadline for photos ending on June 28, the publication has extended the period for an additional entry fee until July 11, bringing the count to more than 9,000 submissions thus far.
Although many of the photographs are stunning in their own way, one has been causing a stir on the Web since late May. The photograph taken by James Morgan shows an Indonesian boy riding on the tail of a tawny nurse shark — something the Huffington Post pointed out is “definitely not something the average beach goer should attempt.”
On the entry section of the site, you can see that “Enal with Pet Shark,” which is in the category of spontaneous moments, has 355 Facebook “likes.”
Here is the description from the photo:
The above photos are only just a small percent of what have been submitted, see the other entries here.
Photographic experts will judge the contest, first picking 10 entries based on certain criteria. From those, they will choose a winner from each prize level.
Winners of the photo contest are up for a National Geographic Galápagos Photography Expedition; a Santa Fe Workshop; a National Geographic Traveler Seminar; and $200 gift certificates to B&H Photo.

Here is the description from the photo:
Enal, a young sea nomad, rides on the tail of a tawny nurse shark, in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Marine nomad ism has almost completely disappeared in South East Asia as a result of severe marine degradation. I believe children such as Enal have stories that could prove pivotal in contemporary marine conservation.Here are a few other photographs from the contest:
