My Tormentors 9/11/25
My wife often refers to the whales as my tormentors. They do seem to love to play with me (i.e., frustrate me). But the dolphins are right up there with the whales. Today I was chasing a pod of Bottlenose Dolphins a lot of the day. I’ll have a separate post on that later. Toward the end of the day I was photographing them at Ft Funston and I was following a dolphin that had just jumped and was inside the wave. I started shooting, hoping I’d catch him bursting out of the wave. Well, while I was shooting him (if you look closely at the photograph, you’ll see him inside the wave), out of the corner of my eye I saw another dolphin launch over the wave. He timed it perfectly so that he just got his nose in the picture, taunting me with the awesome photo I was missing out on. I swear if you look at his face he’s laughing at me.
