Actually, I had seen some of the dolphins at Sea World of San Antonio make bubble rings in 1999. You really couldn't see if they were playing with it or not because there was no underwater viewing window there, but you could see the rings rising to the surface. The next year some of the dolphins were moved to Discovery Cove in Florida. Maybe they were the dolphins from San Antonio or learned it from them.

Interesting to see the rings moving any direction other than up. The triumph of surface tension over buoyancy. Must have taken the dolphins a lot of practice to be able to do stuff like that.

Yes, I'm back. Very busy at the moment, but my schedule will be freeing up in a couple of months. Hope to have some Brin related art to share soon after.
