Mother Nature never ceases to impress me one way or another. Sometimes I am amazed by a simple, bright-colored bloom, another day by the stunning sight of the skies above, then by the shape of a tree…
This morning I received news about a very unique creature, pink dolphin with reddish eyes – showing-off occasionally to the boaters on Calcasieu Lake in Louisiana. Albino dolphins are usually white but at least one little bottle-nose dolphin must have had a pink vision…

The Pink Dolphin is still around!!!
Rare “PINK DOLPHIN” Photos
This extremely rare and beautiful “pink dolphin” was initially spotted and photographed by Capt. Erik Rue of Calcasieu Charter Service on June 24th, 2007 during a charter fishing trip on Calcasieu Lake south of Lake Charles, LA.

It appears to be an uncanny freak of nature, an albino dolphin, with reddish eyes and glossy pink skin. It is small in comparison to the others it is traveling with and appears to be a youngster traveling with mama. After spotting the beautiful mammal cruising with a pod of four other dolphins, Rue and his guests Randy and Peyton Smith and Greg and Sam Elias of Monroe, LA idled nearby while watching and photographing the unusual sight for more than an hour.
Our expectations are high that we will see this amazing mammal again as it was in an area frequented by the gentle mammals and one confirmed report has it being spotted at least a month earlier in a nearby location. If it does turn up again, it will be a welcome surprise to our guests.
