On the way towards the island, we witnessed the beautiful bottlenose dolphins racing and playing around the boat. Their speed, their agility and their immediately apparent intelligence were striking.
You know when you go to a concert and you are lucky enough to be in the front rows... You are attentively watching your favorite artist and all of a sudden, boom! You are absolutely, positively sure that he/she made eye-contact with you! That split-second is so meaninglessly important to you, it's just too much!!! Of course, deep inside you know he/she is playing to the crowd and that ths is his/her way of giving back a bit of extra something, while he/she has no idea who you would be and he /she doesn't particularly care either.....
Well, I had that moment with a bottlenose dolphin.
Here is the proof:
That dolphin does not care about me as much as I care about him/her.
Anyways...
After the dolphins got really bored of traveling faster than the boat carrying people they do not particularly care much about and decided it was not worth racing, we continued toward Anacapa Island and on the way there I saw a sea lion having his breakfast.
Surely he is a bit pissed off that he got kicked off of the popular hang out place due to the fact that he had a few too many the night before... Here are the other sea lions who know how to behave in public having Sunday brunch at the said locale.
It was a pleasure to observe Vivienne and her mom in the natural habitat of other species.
Well, not before I grabbed a reflection shot! Shooting from the waist, I was able to capture Jen, Michael, David, Vivienne and Me in the same frame with the help of Jen's sunglasses.
Next week, we'll get back to the weddings. Until then, stay well my lovelies!
wonderful!
