Yesterday, Beau and I embarked on our morning walk in the rain with the hopeful anticipation of once again encountering the majestic whales. And briefly, we did. Even in that fleeting moment, I felt the awe-inspiring grandeur of life beneath the waves.
Just before their emergence, Beaumont had fortuitously exited the water. I’m uncertain what his reaction would have been had he encountered a humpback gracefully gliding by. As it were, his swim was prompted by two seagulls that had the audacity to perch upon a rock at the water’s edge.
Beau, ever the guardian of order, raced towards them, and when they took flight, he plunged into the water, swimming in a valiant yet futile attempt to capture them. It was quite the spectacle to witness his determined pursuit of the seagulls and their smugness as they taunted him to venture further out. Thankfully, he heeded my call and returned to shore.
And that’s when the whales gracefully slipped past. It was a brief but enchanting encounter, made even more magical by the rainbow that arched above us as we strolled back home.
The seagull, the whale, the rainbow, and the rain – all elements of nature’s symphony, each playing their part in the tapestry of our morning walk. Each creating waves of joy and wonder within and all around me.

I have and it’s great! I had bought some fabulous gear for when I went to Ireland last fall – and recently bought YELLOW rain boots which are comfy and practical and work well! 🙂 I like the yellow of my boots. 🙂
