While I was on a boat trip around Lord Howe Island, we had a brief visit from this Bottlenosed Dolphin. It seemed to have a wonderful ability to be on the opposite side of the boat to me at all times, so I only got one burst of pictures.
Still, I rather like them, especially the first one.
And yes, the water really was that colour! And there was not a cloud in the sky either!!
You can find more pictures of animals from around the world over at Saturday Critters.
Absolutely amazing and the color is magic. Dolphins are definitely a favorite :) Have a nice day.

ReplyDeleteStunning 'fresh' shots Stewart! YAM xx
(...who is in Sydney and seeing that there is just no window to get down to Melbourne after all. Next time!)
Great shots. Always so great to see dolphins alongside the boat. It seems like they're playing!
ReplyDeleteI love the dolphins, they are so cute and smart too. Great shots, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that always the way? Dolphin on the other side of the boat, bird behind a branch or leaf, critter behind a tree? Sending you and your family best wishes from our Thanksgiving Day. You and your blog are just two of the things I'm thankful for today.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Stewart..I am I big fan of sea life...Enjoy your day..
ReplyDeleteOh my, Stewart! You did good!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great shots. I have always wanted to swim with dolphins but it is never going to happen now :-( Diane
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I just can't get over the colour of the sea.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos! How lucky to see this dolphin.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see these beautiful creatures up close and personal!!! Love that first shot!!!
ReplyDeleteNicely done!
ReplyDeleteNice photos of the dolphin, and the water is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful and smart. What a gift to be able to spot them on your voyage to Lord Howe Island. The stunning blue color of the water tells me you had beautiful weather out there and that the water is very, very deep where you were ... simply gorgeous. This had to be a dream trip for you and will be again soon. You are blessed and since we have just celebrated Thanksgiving in the USA, I am sure you are thankful for all you have :) Beautiful series, Stewart ...

Wonderful creatures...a joy to behold and to see in the sea! :)
ReplyDeleteYou got great pictures. We see dolphins pretty often in Florida and they definitely share that one habit of yours -- always on the wrong side of the boat ;>)
ReplyDeleteWow - breath taking views! The first picture, like you, is my favourite. That blue...!

Hello Stewart, just stopping back to say thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy day and new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteNever had a clear view of a dolphin yet, but I was lucky to watch a basking shark once. These are great pictures.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots, Stewart! I love the movement you've captured!
ReplyDeleteWonderful animals. Good that you made the most of your chance!
