I was in Torquay today and met with a couple of avid readers of the Seabreeze forum. They asked me to pass on to you a request for more pictures of the dogs. So how about it Brooko, dogs fetching trunks of trees, dogs chasing medicine balls, sitting on your lap , dogs bailing up the postman, you know, the usual pet pics.

I missed a great photo opportunity today.

I wasn't going to take my camera today because we were just going to paddle the same thing as last week (Port Melbourne pier area) but in the last minute I grabed it anyway..cos you never know what might happen and I'd be kicking myself if I missed a good photo opportunity because I didn't have it with me.

It was cold and crappy (unlike Melbourne weather ) and as we paddled past where we saw dolphins last week (and I fell in trying to get a pic) they were there again..Heaps of them.

I got my camera out and took a few pictures but..as soon as I turned it on it would turn its self off..Yes a bloody flat battery...Bugger!

John paddled off in their direction and I was just hanging around and all of a sudden they were all around me..Swimming under my board again and again and rolling on their side as they went past so they could get a good look at me.

There were times when I could have touched them with my hand they were so close and as big as my board..One even did the flipper thing and came half out of the water right in front of me while I fiddled with my camera trying to take a pic..But no go.. ..It would not work.

Here's a couple of pics that I did get..and nothing to get excited about..(Scotty..hit the exit button now).. )
