Happy Little Vegemite!

Comment Published at 23:3723:3751 comments51 comments92 Visits92 VisitsReport

                                             

A happy little vegemite am I.   

This week we have been  gifted with perfect winter weather around 19 degrees and sun shining. I managed to get 3 lovely walks in,  along our beach.

Sometimes nature rears her head, just when needed to show  this world we live in, is truly amazing.  On my return walk yesterday I spot a pod of about 50 dolphins, 30 feet from the shore line. There was one lone swimmer, swimming adjacent to the beach and here were all these dolphins swimming alongside him...out of the water, diving underneath him, frolicking around like school children playing at lunch time. Some must have been just a breath away, what a magical encounter, oh to have had a  wet suit.

I sat with such a feeling of calm watching their antics with the swimmer for more than I/2 hour, then in a blink of an eye, they were gone, I have seen many dolphins but never as close as these were, nor as playful.

I found this movie clip  on You Tube that depicts how these Dolphins made me feel, hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed my visit with the Dolphins.

                         

I visited with "Buster", who is well and truly showing more of this grand ship than us locals would like.

I took a photo of "Buster" back in June and you could just make out the form of the ship, with the high tides & rough seas we have been having, there is a lot more of Buster showing....Will have to take my camera next time I take a walk, to show you the difference.

I wish everyone a fantastic weekend.

Much Love Janice

Ah dear friend, bet they were there to pass some good vibes onto you.  What a wonderful time. I do love the idea of you there, walking and taking in the sun and critters around you, seems so right.   Now as for you actually being vegemite???  Are you just enough that goes delicately on toast or the whole bottle???  You could never ever be dark goopy stuff, you are going to have to pick honey! Bright, golden,  so sweet and good and stuck to me!!  Haaa,haaaa!  Like that better!

Re: Happy Little Vegemite!

 Wow Janice. Here I was watching your video of the beautiful Dolphines and the music along was so beautiful too. It was almost like the Dolphines were swimming to the music. How lovely to see. They are so beautiful animals, and It makes me cry because at times they are captured just like Sea World doing trick when I think that they should be out in the wild oceans just like the whales should too. I have see Free Willy one and two and I still cry, because it's such a lovely movie. Love Karen.

 How nice it is to see you pop into my blog, I know you come and read them all, hope I bring you a smile or two along the way. I totally agree about the captured Dolphins or all animals for that matter.....I understand they bring us mere mortals much pleasure seeing them but it is not right for wild animals to be caged or in pens.

I also cried watching Free Willy couldn't watch the second one also can't watch animals show where they are getting hurt or eaten alive, makes me sick.

Love Janice

Re: Happy Little Vegemite!

oh janice dolphins are so beautiful and graceful to watch!!!

since we bought our beach house (1990 ) we have been meaning to go on a cruise along the peninsula to see the dolphins. but as our spare time is taken with fishing on the pier we really didnt get around to doing it!!!

We were on our way to Crete in the middle of the ocean sitting on deck when out of the blue about 5 dolphins started swimming and playing next to our ferry boat. Thank goodness we wernt sitiing in our cabin as we would have missed them. They stayed along side us for a good half hur to an hour. I couldnt get my eyes off them.

i have seen them at seaworld but they were tamed and "taught to perform tricks". These dolphins were like you would have spotted . Being in the right place at the right time. Wow im so glad you got to see them. I too was up close and not in my wildest dreams did i expect it.

I think that even makes it more special. So im so happy for you.

 I'm happy for you Annie that you had a up close experience with Dolphins in their own invironment and not  like those in Seaworld.

Steve came for a walk with me today along the beach to take some more photo's of Buster, which I will put up later, we saw no Dolphins, darn...but took a drive up to the lookout and spotted two Whales on their way up the coast to QLD, they are also majestic animals.

Love Janice

 Wow 3 months ago, can we reverse the clock and do it all again, how I wish!

The Whales were not up and close but at least we seen them, everyone is still waiting for the white whale to come through, we even have people flying out from England in the hope of seeing him, what a trip to see a whale.

Re: Happy Little Vegemite!

That's beautiful Janice. I had the most beautiful experience on Thursday too with the dolphins playing just in the river at South Perth. Only 2 though but such beautiful creatures. Unfortunately I cant watch the video today as my computer has been slowed and it is painful just waiting for the page to load. Glad you have been geting some nice days too. We have too the last couple of days and it is great to get the washing dry too. Have a wonderful weekend!

 2 or 50 Dolphins is just as beautiful, yes they are beautiful creatures and they give us so many good vibes just watching them.

Glad your having some good weather, we have been lapping up all the sunshine this past week, after all the horrid weather we had for months.

Hope your weekend is just as wonderful, sweet.

Re: Happy Little Vegemite!

You've just reminded me of my first summer in WA at rockingham beach we were swimming and we had about 4 dolphins swimming and playing just over a meter away from us. Truely amazing!!! I also used to work at a seafront restaraunt and would quiet frequently be visisted by some dolphins, they would follow certain boats in. If you come over with steve we really must catch up!!! Please take care. xxxx.

 Dika you certainly have had some up close experiences with these beautiful animals, I feel they have such a lovely effect on all come that come in contact with them.

Sincerely hope I can make it next year when Steve goes over to visit with his family and no-way I would come over and not get to meet you, would be such a pleasure on my behalf....funny I already feel we have known each other for a long time, strange yeah I know.

Re: Happy Little Vegemite!

 I'm sure the Dolphins on your bath tiles bring you peace such looking at them, am going to take Steve with me to the beach in the morning so with can take some pictures of Buster and to see if the Dolphins are still around.

It is such a shame Buster is showing so much of himself now, I have a real worry that before he is covered up again the elements will have done so much damage.

Re: Happy Little Vegemite!

 Glad you said nearly always happy hee hee, life is good though. There is such beauty around each and everyone one of us, if we only take the time to look.

Steve and I love it here on the  Mid North Coast, where we are situated, we have Rain Forests just a few kilometres west of us and beautiful beaches are in our little village like township, two kilometres as the crow flies and run as far as the eye can see in both directions, what more could one ask for....almost forgot my menagerie of wild animals that bring me so much pleasure.

Sorry your copping the rain now, we have had more than our fair share this year and I am just lapping up the sunshine and my walks along the beach once again, it is so good for the soul....wish you were here to come along with me, dear Dee.

Love you Muchly Janice

Re: Happy Little Vegemite!

 What a start to that journey it would have been, if it had been me out there with the Dolphins....though I felt such calm just watching them as they played.

I have also heard the same Vicki and do believe they would have such  healing powers. Have heard of people going to "Monkey Mia" in Perth  to have an up close & personal experience for that exact reason, healing.

Would love to do that one day, maybe next year when Steve goes to visit with family.

Hugs & Love Janice

Now when you come to Perth instead of going to Monkey Mia WE can go to Bunbury to the dolphin descovery centre it's a lot closer and WE will heal together with peace and calm vibes

Re: Happy Little Vegemite!

Awesome!  That is all I can say about your dolphin adventure...!  Oh yes, only to have a wet suit at that moment, that lone swimmer must have had a magical moment...To slow down for one moment to take in what surrounds us, to see the beauty in nature...I love those moments!

Have awonderful weekend in that specatctular place you call home...

Take Care.

I am hoping to have a moment soon, lol!  We have been watching for humpback whales but haven't see any yet...haven't seen the resident minke whales yet this summer either...but that's okay because its just so peaceful sitting there looking out over the ocean...I feel a poem coming on...OH NO!!!!  LOL!

Re: Happy Little Vegemite!

 Oh yes a poem T, bring it on! It is so peaceful just sitting and watching anything near water or the ocean....do hope you get to spot some Humpback Whales though, they are majestic animals.

It is  just the start of our Whale Watching season when they migrate up the coast to Queensland to warmer waters to give birth, gee don't they travel thousands of miles every year, truly amazing. Will have to keep my eyes peeled.

The Minke Whale also travels to our beautiful Great Barrier every year to give birth.

Re: Happy Little Vegemite!

Thank you for sharing this video, I wish had have been longer, it was just so peaceful.  I feel an affinity to whales for some reason...I am drawn to the ocean...I think I already have a poem somewhere about the ocean...I shall have a look.

They certainly do travel great distances to give birth...its totally amazing how they just intinctually know where to travel...

Take care ok...!

 Two minds think alike T, I went looking for a dolphin icon to put up in my comments in here & guess which one I found...yep right the exactly same one as you, hee hee! Had to find his partner dolphin icon to go with him.

That's the one T, sometimes we need to slow down and take a good look at what is happening around us to see the beauty nature as on offer, for us.

Have a wonderful weekend in that  stunningly beautiful country of your's.

Oh WOW Janice.  What a beautiful experience to watch.....mind you, I think in that weather I would rather be watching the dolphins than swimming with them!  If it was closer to 30 degrees I would think about it!  Again you remind me how beautiful the world is.

Have a fantastic weekend.

 Josie, it was truly a beautiful experience just watching these amazing animals at play and interacting with a human.

If I had a wet suit, I definitely would have braved the chill of the water brrrrrr to have had the opportunity to interact with them.
