Dolphin Envy



Dolphins have no natural enemies, and they always make people exclaim and point as if dolphins were some awesome phenomenon. Why do we feel such an affinity for these now-you see-me-now-you-don't creatures? Maybe because they are so graceful, and much better swimmers than we are, and waaaay prettier than manatees.

They are always out there beneath our balcony, sometimes in groups of six or eight, sometimes solo.........but no matter how foul a mood I'm in (I know........ a phenomenon in itself), they always make me smile and think somehow that life is pretty amazing.

Oh, to splash with the dolphins all day.....to swim lazily along the sea wall.........to never have to cook dinner....................
