Inshore dolphins

dolphin_001.jpgI was kinda staring out the window this morning and noticed a large wake swirling around the old dock. At first I thought it was a large fish until I saw several dorsal fins break the surface. There were 5 dolphins cruising the shallows (2-3ft). I jumped out of my chair, grabbed the camera and ran into the door…literally. Stubbed my toe on the other door, jumped the porch railing and hobbled/ran to the edge of the bank. This was the best image I could get.

Batteries Not Included?!?!

It was just an odd moment but they do come over me time to time :/

Roar!

When I got to the place and got out of my truck I was greeted by the howling of many wolves. Turns out the guy I bought the Deere from runs a refuge for wolves. He was even kind enough to take me on a tour of his place. He even has two tigers!

more images after the jump…
