No plants today, just dolphins!

It's been too chilly and windy to garden, so naturally, I went boating! (Does that make sense? Does it have to?)
Dolphins are extraordinarily intelligent, sensitive, and playful creatures, so I was thrilled to visit with several dozen denizens of the river. A pair came right up to the side of the boat---

 They chirped and twittered and dodged around the boat, then, after a long time, went on their way---

There were lots of birds, too, including this pelican we nicknamed "Low Rider":

It's lovely to spend a day messing about in boats!
