A few words....

I know a lot of folks really enjoy going to museums and doing fine art stuff.
 Don't misunderstand me, nothing wrong with museums and etc.
 
Me, well I would rather sit and watch nature's fine art in the outdoor arena.


I sat and monitored RK13 resting on a Kauai Beach for 4 hours yesterday. My shift consisted of moving her seal protection zone as necessary and educating folks that stopped by to see her.  I am so blessed to be able to be a part of helping to preserve this critically endangered animal.
 
**disclaimer**
as a volunteer I too, MUST adhere to the strict rules of no contact with these seals.
 My photos are taken with a long range zoom camera.


Yesterday while retrieving the mail, these spinner dolphins caught my attention. They were swimming a hundred yards off shore leaping and spinning. I can only imagine the delight of the stand up paddler and kayaker!! What a thrill to be so close and the dolphins seemed to
 enjoy the company as well.
This was maybe 1/3 of the dolphins involved, an incredible scene.
 
 
Yes, this is my kind of Fine Art Museum!!
 
Happy Wednesday.
