It was a quiet morning for a walk at Philippe Park in Safety Harbor, Florida. The spring break crowds were gone. Nearing the end of a two mile walk in this oak-canopied park by the water, I spotted a dolphin’s fin above the surface less than 100 yards from the sea wall. The dolphin disappeared, then reappeared, most likely feeding on a buffet of fish in Tampa Bay. I stopped at the edge of the sea wall to watch and shoot some video with my iPhone. I don’t know if this dolphin sensed it was having a “star” moment, or if it was pure serendipity, but he suddenly swam by me and flashed that unmistakable dolphin smile as he glided just below the surface and then disappeared. It was like he was saying hi and have a great day. How could I not after having this unexpected encounter?
