The Florida Keys - Key West, Florida U.S.A.
*[left-click for a closer-look - taken from the beach!]
*[Dark Dawn - Full Extension - Hand Held @240mm]
*[I normally wouldn't post a 'poor quality shot' but this was a 'lifer' for me: Wild Dolphins! It was still dark! The cruise ship was coming in. The dolphin pod of approx. 8 dolphins were moving quickly parallel to the shoreline SW. I ran along with them! LOL Two fins up! Click]
*[I saw them headed towards the incoming cruise ship, and I had hoped that they would surface again in the same frame with the ship...and they popped up! Only two, but hey, great! I'll take it! lol]
