Patience Wins

I'm learning. I don't catch on right away, but slowly, slowly it comes.

I'm finding that when I dive down to observe underwater critters, they don't swim away if I swim with them instead of toward them. They often allow me to slowly edge closer as we go, but then, of course, I desperately need to breathe and I have to make a dash for the surface. Kind of ruins the whole procedure, but I'm slowly getting better and more patient. And so are they.
