For the past two days, maybe three we have tried in vain to view dolpins. Early in the week we saw them every day, sometimes in pairs (the dolphins, that is) and sometimes in herds or whatever they're called. But when we attempt to show others based on our mistaken predictions of tide or time or sun, we have struck out. We have had a spell of vicious weather--winds, howling winds, howling constant winds, and rain, lots of it. So we concluded the critters didn't much cotton to the weather either.
So today with Ann's departure, we attempted to connect with our male aquatic friends one more time. And you guessed it, they thrilled us, not only with how close they were . . .
but how acrobatic they were as well. This guy breeched completely once and was on a bucking bronco type ride all the way under both bridges and out to the bay, sending Ann off to the Tallahassee airport with misty eyes.
School, herd or pod
