Insert heavy sigh.<\/em><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
A soaring...INSERT NAME OF BIRD. Might be a gull. Might be something more interesting. Really, I don't know. I'm not a book-and-binocs bird-watcher. I just like taking pictures of them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Making a splash. I know this one! Wait a moment...I've nearly identified it...A pelican!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Muy (or is it mucho?) pelicans! On our way to Lover's Arch at Cabo San Lucas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
"Admire me. Damn it. Admire me, I tell you!"<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
"Two Birds." One pelican, one INSERT NAME OF BIRD.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last one. A crab this time. They were crawling all over these rocks at what I like to call Isolated Beach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
"Little Brown Crab."<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oh, crap, that’s not a crab! That’s my father! Pretending to read, but he’s really asleep.<\/p>\n

Now I’m in trouble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
