Of course I regretted that decision the minute we saw this pod of dolphins! They were amazing to watch. We don't often see bottle nose this close so to have witnessed and filmed them twice in two years . . . well, I have to say I feel so privileged and grateful for the experience. It is truly a gift . . . The extension of my gratitude is to be able to share the experience through images. <br /><br />So sorry to hear you missed updates.

The greys and Humpbacks are typically feeding in the arctic waters of Alaska until November. December through April/May, they head down to the warm waters of Baja. Orchas follow the path of the greys. Many years ago I witnessed hundreds of Humpback mothers and their calves from the air in a small Piper Comanche . . . it was a spectacular scene embellished in my memory . . .

If I lived where you live, you would see me out on that beach every day too. Don't think I could ever take that coast line for granted. Glad that you don't either.

It's always something new, something to learn. I'm so grateful to live here . . . <br /><br />Photos: I'm a very lazy photographer and rarely post process my images. I use a pretty basic camera currently while saving for something with better glass and more flexible settings. I did zero on all of these photos. If I start fussing I'd never get them posted! I do want to go back and tweak sharpness and light on the birds and maybe a bit of contrast on the second photo. Because I'm so lazy my intention is to slow down and compose each shot. Of course if I see dolphins or whales all bets are off! Then it's spray and pray!Mama Loves the Beach!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17124186651406635742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-420205617659665685.post-38273238576772106922013-09-26T11:50:34.836-07:002013-09-26T11:50:34.836-07:00I tried to post a comment earlier and it might hav...I tried to post a comment earlier and it might have been deleted by mistake by me, so hopefully I'm not leaving a duplicate here now! <br /><br />I love how you have been watching that momma bird. The fact that you have taken the time out of your day to observe them speaks volumes because not too many people would take the time to stop, breathe, and watch. I also really love that second photo above the most.

It's a feeling I have always had, deep down. I'm going to be adding it to my dreams on my blog, so thank you. I can just sense the feeling of contentment you must have felt when you took these photos and saw all of this around you. You really do live in a beautiful place.

Fun to know that you're over there in Dillon. Your images of beach life are lovely. I've just skimmed a few posts so far, but it sounds as if you're here part time. I loved you description of enjoying your alone time . . . mirrored my thoughts to a tee. With my husband and son in my life I never feel lonely . . .<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by. BTW, I see the tall ships are still moored in the harbor on this very blustery day. You may still get an opportunity to catch them.
