Sunday 10th May......Walking With Dolphins...Carrabelle,FL

06.15 pre-sunrise on the beach and wow it is so worth the early alarm....
as soon as we arrived at the beach we could see a pod of dolphins feeding right at the water's edge...we could almost reach over and touch them !! The light was too low for good photos but I managed to get a few half decent pics...

Yorkieman awake and vertical on the beach pre-sunrise !!!
Several pods came to feed....they were so close you could clearly hear them breathing...

One of the 2 herons patiently waiting to pounce on breakfast.....as well as 2 herons there were pelicans, black skimmers and various other birds.....all in all quite a David Attenborough moment......
Add the beautiful sunrise and a perfect start to the day.....
Since seeing this starfish and others I have had the lyrics to Seasons In The Sun going through my head,  I've had worse songs get stuck there....
I keep forgetting to mention that this is also a black bear area...we haven't seen any but they do come down to the headland at the end of the beach to feed...
Camp Harris....
We have really enjoyed our time at the beach here and at Freeport...not what we had originally planned but it's one of the reasons we have chosen this form of travel and lifestyle that we can be flexible....watching the weather channel this morning it has confirmed to us that we made the right decision to come south....there are tornadoes and heavy rain across north Texas and Arkansas with very heavy rain in Vicksburg where we were a couple of weeks ago....record snowfalls for this time of year in South Dakota in Rapid City and Mount Rushmore....and tropical storm Ana threatening the Atlantic Coast line....
Tomorrow we move on through Georgia to overnight on route to north South Carolina....
More soon all being well from
The Thankful Campers....

  1. Hi Sue & Michael,
    Wow just caught up on your posts.Love the photo of the long shadows on the Forgotten Coast beach.
    You obviously made the right choice making the diversion south,very envious of your weather.
    Impressed with the early rise to catch the dolphins I thought Michael was slower starter to the day.
    Enjoy.
