Third Anniversary

Yes, dear readers, it was three years ago today (December 20, 2011) that the first Cynthia Mermaid blog post went online. Thank you all for another great year.

We passed 80K all-time pageviews on November 29th, and at the time of this writing we have had 81,317. Monthly page views currently sit at just over 1880.

During the past month, the US, France and Germany lead the list by number of pageviews. They are followed by Ukraine, United Kingdom, Romania, Japan, Netherlands, Russia, and South Africa.

Also in the past month, the most popular articles have been Merman Christian, Mermaid Alaina, Dance With Sharks, and Mermaid Kariel. The all-time most popular article is Mako Mermaids (March 2013) with 3538 views. Check the index link below to locate these past articles.

Happy Holidays to all my readers. Here's to another great year, full of splashes and fun.


Mermaids Return to Atlanta

In an article found at Creative Loafing Atlanta, Andrew Alexander writes, "It just wouldn't be Christmas without mermaids." I would have to agree!

Each year, the Weeki Wachee mermaids of Florida make their way to Atlanta, Georgia to pay a visit to the Georgia Aquarium. It appears that tomorrow is the final day of the mermaid event.

If you miss the event in Atlanta this year, you can always catch the mermaids down at Weeki Wachee Springs.


Nine Whales

In a story from Michael Zhang at Peta Pixel that was published a week ago, Australian photographer Darren Jew was said to have set a new world record by capturing nine whales in a single underwater photo.

"The 48-year-old shooter had previously captured images with up to 7 whales before creating this image."

Since the story appeared, folks have commented that there are shots out there with more than nine whales. Still, this is quite an accomplishment. Check out the photo and 2-minute slide show, then grab your underwater camera and dive in. There is a record at stake!


Best wishes and starfishes,
