A few mornings ago, there were dolphins everywhere. They were lazy dolphins...coming to the surface very slowly showing a little fin and then dipping back down just below the surface of the water.

I tried so hard to take pictures of them! It was nearly impossible! There was no rhyme or reason to how they were coming to the surface - or where they'd come next. I just had to be patient - point and shoot - and hope things were fairly straight!

There is something so soothing about watching dolphins move about. Even when they aren't being frisky and playful it's hard to take your eyes off of them. I was so surprised to see dolphins this far north - and I wondered if they were moving slowly to conserve energy and body heat....the water temperature is about 7 degrees Celsius.

It was a treat.

Enjoy some photos of a packed anchorage, some sunrise shots and dolphin 'puddles'!
