Not to take away the warm feeling about the horse and foal, but hopefully to add to it, I'd like to share about what a good friend observed the other day while standing at the water's edge.

A dolphin with two offspring swam into the inlet near where he was standing. She motioned and gathered her offspring, "telling" them to stay there. Then she came to the edge of the water, which was not deep, and fished for food, as my friend described her, as a master fisherman.

While mother fished, the two young dolphins stayed put where instructed - just playing away. Having fun while mom went food gathering. He was quite touched and just quietly watched these gentle creatures.

We all need to get outside more.
