Years ago, in Tampa Bay, FL, I was lucky enough to see three dolphins frolicking off the bow of my tour boat. I’d seen my share of dolphin pictures, but pictures were nothing to the thrill of actually seeing them wild and free, right beside my boat. This giant pod, however, is far beyond anything I would ever have imagined. Wow!
Chuck Patterson filmed these dolphins off Laguna Beach, CA, two days ago. He estimated there were more than 100 dolphins.
How wonderful
Blows my mind. I’d have been too excited to think of filming them.
That’s okay, you’ll always have that memory
I still don’t buy into today’s habit of photographing everything. It’s far better to fully immerse yourself in the experience, in the moment, than to be concerned about getting a picture of it.
It is impossible to truly capture everything that goes into a moment in time
WOW what a big pod of dolphins…must have been a free marine samples being handed out at Docksco?
Must have been amazing to see that in person. (PS Heard any update about LB?)
I had no idea they ever gathered in pods this large. Yep, surely must have been free samples or something. Maybe a pretty pink girl dolphin.
(Haven’t heard anything about LB. Really concerned. I guess you’ve not heard anything either. I sent an ecard and it hasn’t been opened. Nothing new on his website.)
A beautiful sight!
Imagine being in that boat, right there with them!
Wow! Amazing! But a bit concerned about that jet boat (or whatever that thing is) appearing to be chasing them.
Can’t tell if it’s chasing them or just sort of running with them. Certainly it would be better if it weren’t there.
So WONDERFUL to see!
It’s like watching a herd of wild horses run, or maybe antelope. Running and frolicking just for the joy of it.
OH! This actually brought tears to my eyes! So beautiful, so majestic! And an honor just to watch them dancing! I can’t imagine how spectacular this was in person! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
I would love to have seen this in person.
