Reminds me of Florida, that's the only time I've seen dolphins. They surfed a wave behind our boat about 6 feet away from me. Awesome poem Jan!

I have taken loads of photos of dolphins leaping in the air and diving deep, but like the ones best with their offspring. Like fairy terns, dolphins seem to be born with the instinct to enjoy life. Wish we could, too! Aloha! Rico n.b. one of my photos was shutterbug.com's "Photo of the Day" yesterday, but it wasn't of a dolphin!

Listened to the song, so sad and beautiful at the same time. Dolphins, elegant, playful and cheerful, the Haiku suits them and the song perfectly... Belle x

there have been so few sightings round the Island but more than usual around Ireland ... maybe they are socially distancing!:-) hugs jan xx

They say Dolphins are intelligent maybe Jan they can or have sensed something is wrong and are staying well away
