 This is not a shot from Sea World or some aquarium. It is from the wild.

Occasionally wild dolphins make it into Sarasota Bay. I was lucky enough to be there when this one mosied in. Just a couple of minutes before this shot, he chased another fish, and the fish leaped about 8-10 feet in the air, right near the edge of the water. Pretty amazing stuff. I was not in position to get a photo of it though. I did make a frantic attempt, but failed. I was afraid my camera would get wet. I did get wet.

Luckily he went after another right near me and I got it. I wish it was in focus, but it's still cool though.

Wow. nice
I have a friend that lived on a river there in FL and there were manatees(?) cruising around from time to time. I didn't have a camera last time I was there so didn't get any cool pictures.
