Dolphins Put on a Show in Orange County

Friends came to visit us and enjoy the cooler temperatures since their town had temperatures over 100 all week. Although it was cloudy, the cool breeze felt great and we enjoyed a couple of hours relaxing on the shore with the children building sand castles and looking for sea shells. My friend noticed, down the coast a bit, that hundreds of people were getting out of the water and a lifeguard boat was patrolling the waters. She watched intently until she spotted a fin rise above the water. We’re not sure if the lifeguard was concerned about sharks, but what we saw filled us with excitement. The gloomy sky didn’t hinder a pod of dolphins from frolicking in the waves yesterday along the Orange County Coastal beaches. This was one of those days when I wished I had used my extended lens, but here are some of the shots I was able to get.
