Water Sports

There was plenty of activity in the water as well as the air at Ft. DeSoto today. The cormorant above was spending a few seconds on the surface between dives when I caught him. I had to get him at just the right angle so that his turquoise eye would show up. I don't know what purpose that odd coloration serves, but it sure does look cool. The pair of dolphins below were two of a group of five or six that were playing just off the pier. They never got close enough for me to see any more of their bodies than this, though. I was pretty happy to get this much of them in the shot!
