The trial is over. It was exhausting and Im beat. Miley is beat too. She slept all afternoon. We only had one run this morning and I was happy to go home. It was the hottest Ive ever been. All dogs ran slow today. I guess they were all tired and hot. Ill talk more about the trial tomorrow, Im just to tired.We are on Seabook Island. Sometimes when its low tide you can catch the dolphins hunting fish. You know its happening when you see the pelicans watching and waiting on the shore. This channel is very deep and just drops off. The dolphin chase the fish out of the water and onto the bank. Then they eat the fish, unless the pelican gets it first. Smart pelican letting the dolphin to all the work and then gulp. When watching this happen you see how powerful a dolphin is and how aggressive they can be. Although amazing its scary too.
This photo above wasnt cropped. I had only a 50 mm lens on and thats how close the action is.
The photo below isnt the same as the above one. It just has similar action.
This photo below wasnt cropped either.

OK, those are some really awesome pictures. I can't even imagine being that close to what was going on. Incredible. Well, at least it is to me.
That's absolutely incredible. I've always been fascinated by dolphins, but have never seen any that close. Not counting aquariums, I mean. Thanks for sharing the pictures, they're amazing.
WOW, what an awesome site to see!! I have never seen the ocean , never mind dolphins!!
Love your new blog picture too!!
I am really jealous about your new lens! Those pictures are great! I am loving it!
Wow Diana! That is incredible. The only time I've been that close to a dolphin is at seaworld.
Totally amazing dolphin photos! I would love to see that!
We used to go to the Charleston area a lot before we got Ricky (we got married on Kiawah). We did a lot of kayaking there and saw some great wildlife. It's a beautiful part of the country.
Sorry the trial was so hot and exhausting - that's just not fun. But looking forward to hearing about your experience!
that is incredable, wow!!!
Boy I know what you mean about the heat and trialing, I had never seen Breeze not want to run in agility and I had never seen her eyes look like they looked at the end of the first day we ran, when it gets really that hot it gets to be scary stuff. Hearing Miley was wanting to stay on the start line she must have looked very similar to what I saw. Hanging out by the water looks way nicer, although not sure about being too close if those dolphins are hunting that looks like it would be scary if you were too close.
Amazing dolphin pictures! How cool to be able to see them up close like that.
