Hola Tracy & Norm, Thanks to both of you for the warmhearted comments, public or not, as well as for the charming addition to my vocabulary! There were 4.5 billion-year old rocks on the table, of that photo, I'd like to point out.
Probably the best wildlife in addition to our own scrumptiously presumptuous species glimpsed was a surprise in a rough surf with serial 2-3 meter high waves at the low cast light of Sunrise. Soon to provide a good face-first thrashing and force-feeding of seawater, one particularly high wave soon was to break. Waterlogged, stinging eyes, tracked it with a necessary keen sense in the final moments, to feed the vice of thrill-seeking anticipation when the unexpected happened. An entire school of quite large fish (min. 30 cm to nearly 50 cm long) was elevated effortlessly as they merrily swam along unimpeded. >From my vantage point, it was like looking into a huge walk-in aquarium about to shatter. The wave progressed rapidly toward both shore and yours truly, and the fish were smoothly elevated up the curved front wall of the wave by what I can only describe as optical antigravity. As they approached the top in the emotional two-second event, they simply disappeared in stride behind the cusp at which time I gasped for a deep breath and made like a bottom-burrowing sea scavenger Tracy suspects I am, to hang on to dear life. The low frequency frictional blasts overhead as the wave broke were just background thumps as I literally swallowed the unexpected sight I had just witnessed.
