the perfect shot!

I have a huge fascination and infatuation with dolphins. If I could start my life over again I would go to college for Marine Biology and work at Sea World or Discovery Cove training dolphins.


Lucky for me, dolphins are everywhere at St. George Island. Today was like dolphin orgy day, they were everywhere and they were playful! Jumping, splashing, slapping their tails, it was awesome. We went out in the kayak and they were less than 15 feet from us! I tried to get some photos with a waterproof camera I bought at the drugstore, we'll see how they turn out.


At about 5pm this evening we were sitting out on the deck and another pod came frolicking by the house. In the span of less than 30 minutes I took over 200 shots (filled my camera card with RAW photos) but I got the perfect shot!
