Insert heavy sigh.
I was halfway through the most amazing, excellent post about my experience swimming with dolphins in Cabo this winter and…I HIT THE WRONG KEY!! WordPress ate my marvelous prose. And just left me with a lower case b. Not even a capital B.
I am so disheartened that I didn’t think to hit Save Draft halfway into the post that, alas, I find myself unable to conjure up the will to write it again. Sooner or later, you’ll hear my tale. But not today.
Instead, I offer bird pictures. Re-sized for the blog but otherwise unaltered. So if my composition is off, just know it wasn’t accidental. Those birds might fly fast (or the boat might be moving fast), but, darn it, I meant to catch them off-center. And that’s the sort of truth. It’s more interesting that way sometimes, don’t you think?
What do you think? Is that one drooling? Or is that water dripping from its beak? Maybe it just ate its enemy. How are you to know? I’m not a reliable narrator, so don’t ask me.
Last one. A crab this time. They were crawling all over these rocks at what I like to call Isolated Beach.
Oh, crap, that’s not a crab! That’s my father! Pretending to read, but he’s really asleep.
Now I’m in trouble.
Your “insert name of bird” might be a cormorant. Or not. I’m not an expert by any means:-).
Nice pictures!
Gosh, Ellen, you could be right. I’ll go google it…
Okay, a cormorant looks kind of like a pelican. Maybe I’ve been calling cormorants pelicans and now they’ll want to peck out my eyes! It’s a good thing I’m far, far away from Mexico. It’s too cold for them here.
