| Bottlenose dolphin ~ Doran Beach, Bodega Bay, CA ~ Darris Nelson |
Two women vacationing in Bodega Bay pointed out a pod of Bottlenose dolphins that were frolicking and fishing about seventy five yards offshore.

It was overcast and the light was getting dim. Although the photos aren't the greatest, they do give you a sense of my experience. If you're patient you'll actually get a good sighting and action on the video.
The dolphins seemed to be fishing in two groups. I believe there was a total of six dolphins in the pod possibly more.
I watched and filmed from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. At about 5:30 my right contact dried up and folded in my eye and rolled back someplace that I wasn't able to find. I kept shooting hoping I was getting some worthwhile images. I called my husband at about 6:00 p.m. because I had a two mile walk ahead of me and I couldn't see my hand in front of my face! Besides, I knew he wouldn't want to miss this rare event.
Someday I might take the time to edit my photos and video but in the meantime they're straight out of my Canon SX 30 point and shoot.
