The beach grass is greener, the
Checking with my trusty Google, found a number to call and what to do. After talking with the local aquarium was given the ok to try and get it into a nearby crab hole until they got there. This porpoise was about 4', they get to be about 5' and 165 lbs. Managed to get it to the crab hole and once in I promptly fell backwards into the water... Didn't realize till later that my phone had fallen out of my pocket, couldn't find it. The porpoise seemed to be active but then kept rolling on to its back. Google said to try and support it till help arrived, so that is what I did till the aquarium people got there. It seemed to panic a bit when I would let go and calmed down when I would talk to it and support it. The aquarium peeps scooped it into a cooler and tried to coax it back out into the ocean. I watched for a bit but the porpoise kept coming back in, my heart was a bit sunk and being a bit soggy decided to leave and not know the out come... I got an update a couple days later that they decided to take it to an estuary for it to rest up. Had reports of it for two days and had posted on facebook for reports of sightings. No reports of it, alive or dead, so the aquarium peeps say they take the stance everything worked out...YEAH!

April 13, 2021...Arizona
So, I was asked to help out and take someone over the border for dental work. It required my also going for an appointment. Did some sight seeing and got some cool pics:
Referred to as the center of the world...yeah was wondering how they decided that too. It has a history of the world etched in granite for the benefit of future generations. Was a bit wacky at first sight but upon reading the website was some place that would be kinda cool to explore had it not been for the hot weather. The arm points down the center, goes to the pyramid and another building up on a hill.
Nope, not my favorite picture either. We were out exploring, trying to find a ghost town when this guy was lying across the road. Upon exclaiming that it was a snake we backed up and were treated to this snake in all its glory. They are pretty, but....it's still a snake!
The park we are staying in has a lot of interesting sights to commit to photo. Plus it is the time of year that cactus of all sorts are blooming:
Ok this was quite a sight, a delipidated old tree with shoes hanging all over it! There is one in eastern Oregon too, it is the sight of a geo cache.
An egret is not exactly a novel sight for anyone, but they are amazing in their design, such a skinny neck. It was an unwelcome visitor for a pair of humming birds. Had not noticed the little speck of red in the tree. I had noticed the less colorful one in the photo below. (Doesn't that look like the most dejected hummer you have ever seen!) 👇
It was only after seeing my pics that I saw the splash of red as they went after the big bird, an example of courage. (Almost out of frame, left of center at the top.) Putting them on a bigger screen revealed that it had been there all along.
