Last year, when my son Will was surfing at Del Mar almost every day, I used to talk to his mates about sharks, and they laughed at me, insisting there were no sharks in these here waters. <br>Huh! Callow youths!<br>I used to panic about Will bobbing about in the water on those misty early mornings, which in Australia we all acknowledge as sharky weather.

I know that they can be very dangerous, but I heard once that they also need to be protected. What a beautiful creature!

Not that long ago, people would have been more likely to turn away, or to watch the see the animal suffer and die. Thank God, right, for Steve Irwin and for our overall enhanced understanding and love of the wild creatures with whom we share this planet. Your day at the beach looked ordinary yet extraordinary; the gift you give your children on those outings is incalculable. (Did I spell that right?) And hurray for teachers who teach us so that we've learned for a lifetime and can teach others. (Yes, I do love seagulls, except when they poop on the quilts I'm working on or try to steal my lunch -- oh, but I still love them.)Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18383220573177416855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-1104025749131937242008-01-10T18:22:58.485-08:002008-01-10T18:22:58.485-08:00I had a "what's wrong with this picture?&...I had a "what's wrong with this picture?" moment when I got to the shark.

How cool that you and your kids got to see that! Once when the girls were little and we were in Florida, I saw bubbles coming up from the sand. I told DD1 to dig, thinking it was a clam...WRONG!!! It was a horseshoe crab!!!
