Blue Solitude

A baby Atlantic spotted dolphin appears from the Big Blue. Already evident is an overriding urge to assert a little independence from its mother. Exploring its watery environment with fearless zest and an innate curiosity, it spies me and without hesitation, comes closer to investigate. Possibly I’m its first encounter with our species - I like to think so. Can it pick up how spellbound I am? Identifiable spot patterns will begin to appear on its skin after it’s weaned and will continue to develop throughout its adult life.
