Port Isabel, Texas. This place was in pretty rough shape when I photographed it. I'm wondering what it'll look like tomorrow..:( Several of you reached out, and I think you for that. The weather man says we'll have 50 mile and hour winds and about 12 inches of rain. I live close to a creek that floods easily. So, I'm a little worried. We've already had some rain and wind.
Capturing a dolphin in mid-jump was very challenging, but they gave me the opportunity when they kept racing alongside the boat playfully. I set the zoom lens to 100mm (as little as possible) to increase the field of view. I then tried timing a series of bursts, anticipating when they would jump. A little luck and a little skill combined to give me this awesome image. The spray off the boat, visible as white dots in the lower right, only added to the feeling of the image.

4.Yokai Dolphin
In 2015 we went to the Niue Island in the Pacific Ocean for the first time. The island is small, you can literally drive around it in 30 minutes. But what is unique is that just around 50 m from the shore the ocean goes very deep - up to 300 m. Therefore you can see whales and dolphins a lot - right from the window of you motel, or from a restaurant deck. We went to swim with dolphins and it was a remarkable experience. The picture is from my small Canon camera - therefore not extremely high quality.
One from a couple of years ago when I did a photo tour of Kangaroo Island in South Australia. I love the 'skin' of water on the dolphin on the left as it breaks the surface.
Finally(!!) got my camera back from being cleaned and so can get out again and shoot some new pictures - weather permitting!
Long-beaked common dolphins are gregarious and are often seen ‘porpoising' at the water surface, breaching and bow-riding for extended periods of time. They are also highly vocal and like the short-beaked common dolphin, can be heard whistling to each other when they are above the surface of the water. They typically travel in large social groups numbering between 10 and 50 dolphins.

Two Common Dolphins, of the Cornish Coast at Padstow
The common dolphin is the name given to two species (and possibly a third) of dolphin making up the genus Delphinus.
Prior to the mid-1990s, most taxonomists only recognised one species in this genus, the common dolphin Delphinus delphis. Modern cetologists usually recognise two species — the short-beaked common dolphin, which retains the systematic name Delphinus delphis, and the long-beaked common dolphin Delphinus capensis.
The common dolphin is not the dolphin of popular imagination despite its name; that distinction belongs to the bottlenose dolphin due to its widespread use in marine parks and its appearance in the television series Flipper.However, this dolphin was the most frequently represented in the art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome.
In dophin jumping skill I think this one scored close to a 10! We had watched a sperm whale catching its breath after a deep dive for 45 minutes then found a dolphin school. Seen from a Whale Watch boat off Kaikoura, a small town on the East coast in the north of NZ's South Island.
We are on holiday on our way to spend time with family. Internet time is limited but I will try to visit some friends.
Seen from the shore at Richardson Beach Park, Kalanianaole Ave, Hilo, Island of Hawaii [Big Island], Hawaii.
Info: A group of dolphins is called a pod. A pod usually is formed of around 12 dolphins, and it is the usual social group of dolphins. > www.dolphins-world.com/what-is-a-group-of-dolphins-called/
I wish everybody a happy and healthy 2021, with hopefully lots of photogenic opportunities!
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

On the way out to photograph whooping cranes we saw this dolphin out in the bay. This group didin't seem to be very playful, and we only saw one surface this once.
The Dolphin Inn at Kingston, Devon,
The main building of the pub was originally three 16th Century cottages before being joined together and converted. The cosy interior features exposed stonework and pleasant low lighting.
The whitewashed building opposite the pub is now an accommodation block and is about the ideal distance to go from for a pint! (Or to wander back to after some)
I wonder how many cell phones are laying on the bottom of the ocean right off shore?
I see people taking pictures of the dolphins off the back of jet skies all the time.
I am such a klutz, I just know that the 1st swell to come along and bump the craft would make me drop my phone right in the drink!
Had an amazing experience encountering a superpod of thousands of Northern Right Whale Dolphins and Pacific White-Sided Dolphins grouped together in Monterey Bay, CA.
The dolphin breached the water with a corkscrew twist to give additional height. It reached about 5m clear of the water, just avoiding a belly flop on landing! All this with the Ceredigion coastline in the background. A fabulous encounter...
Wild Dolphin in the adriatic sea between the croatian islands of Krk and Losinj, spotted during a boat trip.
Common Dolphins are usually uncommon in Monterey Bay but this is an El Niño year with warmer waters than usual, and there are thousands of them further north than usual. This is the rarer oceanic form that used to be known as Long-beaked Common Dolphin but DNA studies of the various populations have shown that they are not a genetically distinct species, but that each long-beaked population is most closely related to their nearest population of Short-beaked Common Dolphins. I thought that the head of this leaping Dolphin stood out well against the splash of a recently-dived Dolphin.
