The mating of beau...The beauty of mating rituals or<br />The mating of beauty rituals...I guess that's where girls apply each others makeup to be more beautiful.<br /><br />I once pissed off the lifeguards at Monnlight beach when I sprinted maybe 200 yards past the swimmers and surfers into a pod of dolphins heading south. No human as ever been attacked by these loving creatures, right?<br /><br />They slicked by me on both sides as if I weren't there. One poked up and looked at me as if to say, "what."<br /><br />I made it back to shore, but because I once was a lifeguard and champion swimmer, the guards just gave me the look. I smiled back.<br /><br />RWRW Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473786472219141232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704402990835559649.post-37068019173336238602012-01-26T14:41:08.903-08:002012-01-26T14:41:08.903-08:00Fantastic, Stephen!

We've had a few swim calls in the middle of the ocean, and I could never bring myself to jump overboard into the water. We even had our RHIBs (little boats) complete with rescue diver and an anti-shark watch with M16. LOL, somehow that didn't make me feel safer!Angela McCallisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610798614001745001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704402990835559649.post-68650503729894676822012-01-25T15:30:27.205-08:002012-01-25T15:30:27.205-08:00Yes, I am doing the Origins fest, the one about th...Yes, I am doing the Origins fest, the one about the 80s crush, and of course the A to Z Challenge.<br /><br />Your descriptions are beautiful. I don't have much experience with being out on the ocean and must confess that I have a bit of a fear of bodies of water. So many mysteries, yet so exciting.<br /><br />Lee<br />See my guest post at <a href="http://breakthroughblogs.blogspot.com/2012/01/lazy-blogger-hosting-guests-on-your.html" rel="nofollow">Breakthrough Blogs </a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704402990835559649.post-1513940709010287592012-01-25T09:30:41.415-08:002012-01-25T09:30:41.415-08:00Alex, I'm happy to share!

Thanks for the encouragement to join in ;)<br /><br />Anne and Melissa, it's awesome you got to see it along the beach. And I haven't seen seals in the wild, but how could I forget sea lions? Those lil brats used to steal the bait from my crab rings and then float there a few feet away eating it and laughing to themselves!Angela McCallisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610798614001745001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704402990835559649.post-13356077362480801492012-01-23T06:31:43.666-08:002012-01-23T06:31:43.666-08:00I love bioluminescence, too!

I have great memories as a teenager of driving to the beach with my best friend at night to see an algae "bloom" where the water glowed green.Melissa Cutlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00110444399980196899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704402990835559649.post-5775701585620240452012-01-23T02:36:14.349-08:002012-01-23T02:36:14.349-08:00When I lived on the beach, we had bioluminescence ...When I lived on the beach, we had bioluminescence from the plankton that lived in the seaweed. It would roll in with the waves and then crash on the shore and for about three seconds the whole beach would light up. then it would go out, then light up. It only happened once or twice a summer.<br /><br />The other cool thing that used to happen was when it got so cold and ice formed, you could see all the colors of the luminescent in the frozenness as it clung to the rocks near the dock.<br /><br />Never saw a dolphin, but we did have a seal for a few winters. I guess they come down from Maine, and he got lost and hung out in front of the house. I think three years in a row. I think it was the same seal. They all kind of look alike.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704402990835559649.post-84349309044966533492012-01-22T14:42:46.937-08:002012-01-22T14:42:46.937-08:00Honored to be a co-host of the Origins blogfest!

I've been on a boat before and seen some amazing lightning in the distance, but to see the ocean itself glow with life would be amazing. You had a demanding and difficult job in the Navy, but there are things you saw that so few people on earth will ever experience.Alex J.
