The Tip of the Iceberg

I had occasion to venture down to our local fishing village today, and as I was coming back up the dock to dry land, this fellow caught my eye (and evidently, I caught his too!).

I stood there with my silly cellphone aimed at him while I talked soothingly to him. He was just like a sleepy dog, lazily floating there, watching me unafraid, occasionally sliding down into total immersion, then coming back up just far enough to gaze at me serenely.

It just shows me that friends are everywhere, and all I have to do is say 'hello'.
