I've never seen dolphins in real life, but I've always wanted to. Lucky you to happen upon them!

Lots of people went out to swim with him. Although it was a great experience for the swimmers, I think it might have been a bit overwhelming for him. His dorsal fin got damaged too where people were hanging on to it.<br /><br /><br />LucyLucy Corranderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743561298706555813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-86266757726952085842009-10-25T08:10:22.100-04:002009-10-25T08:10:22.100-04:00What a delightful view from your window~ We alway...What a delightful view from your window~ We always feel honored when we spot dolphins in the ocean on our vacation visits! gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-54694249114118485412009-10-24T19:10:14.998-04:002009-10-24T19:10:14.998-04:00Nice animal post!

You can go on post with a driver's license. I used to see the dolphins sporadically in the late 70's and early 80's. Who knows, I chalk it up to seredipity. <br /><br />Hi Randy, the shorter daylight hours make the work day hard. Have had a Towhee on the deck for the last couple days. I don't see him in the summer. <br /><br />Hi Dave, I like the herons, watching them walk around and their patience fishing, great entertainment. <br /><br />Hi Rosey, I am happy I could offer a dolphin photo for you! It was a treat for me to see them.<br /><br />Hi Rose, When we first moved to this area and were out in the water we saw fins. It was scary. Since there were a group of them, we figured it was dolphins. If you go underwater when they are swimming nearby you can hear them talking to each other.<br /><br />Hi Phillip, you live as close to the bay as I do.....now the creek, that is another issue.<br /><br />Hi Cameron, thanks, it is a nice setting. The ONLY reason Skyler would go in the water is to go after his ball, his beloved ball. <br />What fun to swim with the dolphins...in Hawaii no less!<br /><br />Hi Tina, I have great views out the back windows....and spend a lot of time looking out. <br /><br />Hi K- He wants you to give him a bath....<br /><br />Hi Alice, There was one day where a Green Heron, a Night Heron, an Egret, and a Great Blue were lined up on the bulkhead of a neighbor's --talk about a missed photo opportunity! Hope you sleep better tonight!<br /><br />Hi VW, would you believe we will have Herons on the lake? There are also Bald Eagles and Osprey. We saw a few Snowy Egrets too. .... so look for more photos in years to come. <br /><br />Hi Catherine, they are big aren't they? <br />The dolphins jumping was amazing.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-53998737847556036842009-10-22T12:47:59.714-04:002009-10-22T12:47:59.714-04:00I'm always amazed at how big those herons are....I'm always amazed at how big those herons are. <br />How neat to see the dolphins.

This glimpse from your window is a real treat to start my day at the computer.<br />I was having trouble sleeping, and thinking about posting photos of a tall grevillea that grows outside my front window - the view from behind my computer. It blooms throughout the winter months and the hummingbirds love it! So I have to be content with these 'little guys' ... and take walks to try to spot herons.

Seeing the dolphin fins reminds me of visiting Florida several years ago. I got up before dawn one morning just to watch the sunrise. After the sun was up, I looked out and saw these fins swimming in the distance--I was scared to death they were sharks! No one else around seemed worried, and I finally asked a worker at the hotel who told me they were dolphins:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-14045095389129762132009-10-22T08:45:16.911-04:002009-10-22T08:45:16.911-04:00Your wildlife differs vastly from what we see here...Your wildlife differs vastly from what we see here. <br />Very aweseome dolphins!
