On Sunday, my brother offered to take us out on his little boat for a couple of hours. It was another gorgeous day...a bit cold on the boat but nice none the less. We went out on the Atlantic Ocean which was very calm. We puttered down to the pier at Jacksonville Beach. On the way back to the marina, we spotted dolphins. Not just one or two...but a pod of at least eight and maybe more. We stopped the boat and were able to enjoy watching them for about 30 minutes. While none of these photos are particularly artistic....it was a special opportunity for me to be close to the animals and just observe and try to photograph them for a while.

They are beautiful, and they were quite cooperative to hang around long enough to get so many good pictures.

I have lived on and worked on the water for many years now and I never fail to be mesermized by these wonderous creatures. They are hard to photograph, but you have some really good shots here. Glad you were able to have this experience.

Aren't they terrific? We have dolphins that live it the bay behind my house and they are always swimming around out here in the Gulf too. I'm so glad you got the opportunity to see them while you were visiting Florida. You got some really nice shots of them too! Martha :-)
I remember when my parents lived in florida and we would go to this waterfront restaurant that was at an inlet. Anyway, we would always see dolphins swimming around and playing as we were eating. I LOVED going to that place.
I certainly enjoyed these photographs.
