Pasku and Tela

Pasku and Tela

Good evening all.  Tonight I have another super cute photo of baby Pasku (top) and his mother Tela for my dolphin fan club out there!!  You can thank Junior for this shot because he has been trying to train this for months now and every time he tries he gets better results!  Tela will lay in any position you want for as long as you want but trying to get a baby dolphin to calm down and rest on mommas head is really an unbelievable accomplishment!!  Pasku got a bit banged up about a week ago so this is the only side I can shoot on him right now, the other side has scratches and also a bruise over his eye all caused by rough play. 
 
My day off was like a race all day long!!  I started this beautiful day by first taking the dogs for their early morning walk.  I then took off on a fast 20 mile bike ride which took about an hour and a half, some on dirt and some on the road.  It rained again last night so just about everything was pretty wet this morning and there were some places I could not go without getting completely muddy.  Once I got home and cleaned up I put my underwater camera together, grabbed the dive gear and took off for a dive at the Sea Aquarium.  I had planned on taking photos for Dirk of his Elkhorn research but strong current, big waves and bad visibility changed my goals quickly!  I ended up being out there a long time but really didn’t see much or just couldn’t take photos with the surge.  I did find a spot where some small pillar corals were tipped over.  I found a sandy spot and laid the camera in the sand and placed them right side up again, it’s always a good feeling to lend a helping hand to the reef.  After the dive I went back home ate everything in sight and then worked on doing all kinds of odd jobs around the house, like dishes and washing stuff.  At 5:00 I loaded the dogs again and off we went to Caracasbaai.  There I had to place another Geocache at the Castle, it was robbed!  I still have so many people looking for these caches every week so I have to keep them active,  Once that was placed I drove the dogs to the salt flats for an hour walk and now we are all back home tired!  So that was my day, what did you do??
 
I haven’t heard from Aimee yet but hey, I’m only her husband??  She must be going a hundred miles a minute!   I’ll be back tomorrow, Barry
