You know those videos you see where the dolphins come up to your boat looking like playful puppies? This wasn’t anything like that.
We saw several dolphins in Clearwater Bay, Florida, but they stayed at a distance. We weren’t as close as it might look in some of these photos. Fortunately, I have a pretty good zoom lens.

It’s always better to treat wildlife with respect and give them their space.
