Went for one of my weekly early morning beach walks. Got to see a puffer fish that was close to shoreline he was trying to get back to the sea but the waves were really giving him a fit. We used to have a puffer fish and had him named ET in our fish tank. He would literally come to the top of the tank to have his head scratched and eat minnows from our hand. Who would know a fish would want human attention!

When going on a walk you never know what marine life you might see. It was lovely that you got to see a puffer fish. Some fish can be really friendly. There is a beach in Darwin in Australia. There the fish can be fed by hand by the tourists. Wow! It is a lovely feeling to be in the water feeding the little fish. I am keen on snorkeling when I am traveling to a tropical country. I love to see colorful reef fish. In New Zealand I was doing some sand rides when I saw a little penguin. That was an amazing experience. In the Maldives I was walking along the shore line and I saw some baby reef sharks in the shallow water. It was a special experience that I remember with fondness.

During Spring I was on the pier and actually got to see a sea turtle swimming. That was my first to actually see free in the ocean it was so awesome. I usually get to see Manta Rays and Sea Rays. I love the feel of the sea rays. We have a spot where I live that dolphins play all day long in the water. So our tourist boats get out and take visitors to the spot so they can see them up close and personal. I went on a cruise in Mexico. I woke up to hearing seals barking out side our balcony. that was really fun as the cruise director said they considered that seal island. That was as we entered port at Caba San Luca I always eagerly watch to see something new and different. Thanks for sharing your stories too loved to read them!
