Yes, you love dolphines.
In mediterrannea we also see them sometimes.
They are really lovely..

Yeah, I do have quite a few shots of dolphins on my profile right now, but it is mostly because I live in the land-locked Midwest US and my exposure to naturally occurring ocean life is VERY limited. This was my second time seeing the pacific coast and my first time experiencing dolphins in the wild, so I snapped up the opportunity for some action shots! :) Beautiful creatures, they really are.

Awesome catch!

Thank you!

I love your capture, it's incredible! :)
