Spotted while driving out to the supermarket: a crowd of people standing on the beach, staring at something out in the bay. Pointing, taking photographs. We pulled over for a nosy and there they were, about 300 metres out into the water - dolphins, probably ten or fifteen of them, accompanied by a small escort of dinghies and sail boats; tourists out for that perfect photo opportunity. Birds flocked and squawked overhead and dived for the fish that had drawn the dolphins into the bay, while above us a prop-powered Cessna sputtered and wobbled for a landing at Wellington airport. For half an hour or so all attention, human and animal, was concentrated on one small area, a square of hot light and cold blue water. For that little block of time everything seemed, for once, right with the world.
Sunday, 13th April. About four in the afternoon. Sort of makes me wonder what I'm going to come across next.
