Dynamic Dolphins

Incredibly beautiful.

Incredibly smart.

Incredible parents.

A dolphin pod acts as a village, helping to raise the young.

Dolphin moms provide protection.

They also teach their babies to have strong survival skills.

Moms will guide their babies in swimming and breathing.

They also teach them social behaviors.

There are typically "aunties" who help with the rearing.

The moms also foster play and creativity.

There is a wonderful Disney program on right now that shows a lot about Dolphin rearing and behaviors.

It is called dolphin reef and is an incredible insight into the world of dolphins.

I really enjoyed watching it.

I also learned a lot about dolphins.

Anyway, these guys were fun to paint!

I really enjoy the movement and playfulness.

I was fortunate enough to photograph dolphins while on a dolphin cruise.

They were having such fun leaping and jumping through the wakes of the boats.

They also had the prettiest pink on their bellies.

This is because they were so happy in the sea and playing with the boat.

A very happy memory for me too!
