1 Year Ago Today.....

Today (4/20/11) marks the 1 year anniversary of the BP Oil Spill. My heart goes out to all our marine friends, who suffered, and are still suffering due to this tragic event. Also lost were several human lives. May their spirit live on through memory. Lost, but never forgotten. R.I.P. Let us remember them on this day- and always. ♥
