Pacific White-Sided Dolphin, painted in Photoshop

Casually mention the ocean, and there's a decent chance I'll make my delight for cetaceans known. This Pacific White-Sided Dolphin is getting kind of old now, but still felt worth a share. 🐬

This image captures a stunning moment of three dolphins leaping out of the ocean in unison. The dolphins are mid-air, with splashes of water beneath them, indicating their powerful jumps. Their sleek, silvery-gray and white bodies glisten in the sunlight, and the deep blue-green water of the ocean contrasts beautifully with their streamlined forms. The movement and energy in the photo convey a sense of freedom and playfulness, characteristic of dolphins in the wild. The photo is credited to Gregory Rothman and dated 2019.

Native to the North Pacific, these social, acrobatic cetaceans face threats from bycatch, noise, & climate-driven prey shifts.

A black-and-white photo of a Pacific White-Sided Dolphin coming up for a breath in glassy seas.

I haven't seen any #ocean #wildlife #marinelife for a few weeks. I'm itching to get back out there. This #photo of a #pacificwhitesideddolphin, taken from the bow of a sailboat in glassy seas, is among my favorites of the 1000s I've taken the last few years. #dophin #wildlifephotography #oceanlife
