Seredipitous Encounter with our Finned friends

I thought it’ll help to clear my head if I go for a walk on Matilda bay, being close to beautiful scenery near the water always seemed to reenergise me..

Then.. out of nowhere a fin popped out, then another, then another.. sending little ripples across the water and all the kids and parents picnicking on the foreshore were screaming and scrambling to get closer..

There were a gang of FIVE dolphins.. they played around the jetty with the kids, almost close enough to touch.. after about 5 mins, they lazily moved on along the shore..
I stood greedily watching their fins gracefully slices through the water, soaking in every moment while fumbling with my damn phone trying to capture this magical moment..

I followed them with my eyes till they disappeared into the dark waters.. I stood there, a bit overwhelmed with the sense of awe.. being in the presence of life's little miracles..

What is it about these finned mammals that is so magical that makes me so grateful about these serendipitous brushes with nature..

Later some American tourists asked us if the dolphins were lost and if we should notify the authorities.. and being a good ambassador to Australia.. I assured them that the dolphins are just a part of our everyday lives.. much like the koalas in my backyard that I’m now going home to feed by riding on my pet kangaroo skippy...
