As our cruise glided through the serene waters of Doubtful Sound, a pod of dolphins appeared out of nowhere, surrounding our ship with incredible grace and speed. At first, they were so close that I could hardly see them from the deck—just fleeting glimpses of their smooth, glistening bodies. These majestic creatures danced around the ship, seemingly aware of our presence.
Just when I felt like they might slip away under the water, one dolphin leapt into the air, breaking the surface in a perfect arc. In that split second, I managed to capture the moment, snapping a photo right before it reentered the water. It was my first time seeing dolphins in person, and it felt like a gift from nature, one that I’ll never forget.
In the slow motion part you can see that they don't seem to hurt or even touch each other very much :)
We had a socially distancing picnic at my mother-in law's house on Monday. While sitting on our picnic blanket, our daughter pointed out this pair of box elder bugs also enjoying a nice afternoon in the grass.
"Una realtà non ci fu data e non c'è, ma dobbiamo farcela noi, se vogliamo essere: e non sarà mai una per tutti, una per sempre, ma di continuo e infinitamente mutabile.”
Luigi Pirandello
"A reality was not given and there is not, but we must do it ourselves, If we want to be: and it will never be one for everyone, one forever, but constantly and infinitely mutable. "

Le soir c'est aussi le moment des acrobaties vélocipédiques, alors que les passants se raréfient, de même que l'air respirable dans un masque chirurgical sous 31°C à l'ombre avec une humidité normande...
Mais ça nous emmènerait trop loin... Surtout au dernier jour du port obligatoire du masque en extérieur !
It began to rain, not the best of light either, but the dolphins leapt on cue......a fantastic sight to behold.
