Birds and dolphins at the Fort Desoto fishing pier.


Snowy egrets on one of the roofs of the fishing pier. It was a windy day.


Nice pose.


White ibis flying by.

More dolphins.


Neat looking ship passing by the fishing pier.

Another sunny Sunday afternoon spent at Fort Desoto. It was very windy and cool. There won't be many days like this left before it gets miserable hot. I saw a lot of dolphins but weirdly they were all swimming far away from the pier. Usually they swim around and underneath the pier. I guess it's better that way. Sometimes the dolphins go after the fish caught on the fishing poles. The dolphin tries to swim away with the fish and ends up with a hook in his mouth or stomach. The fishermen are always mad because they've lost a hook. I always want to say "How would like to spend your short life with fishing hooks in YOUR stomach?" but I don't. I just walk away and shake my head.

  15. Great shots Dina. What a natural wonderland you live in. Your White ibis catch is reminds me so much of a formation of Canadian geese and is quite spectacular. Your egrets are sure in fine feathery form. You know, I still can't get over your Great egret nursery pictures from a few weeks ago. They are locked in my memory forever. Thank you for sharing!!!

  20. If you find it a bit maddening to follow the daily
    fluctuations of the scale even though you
    are eating properly, pick three days of the week on which you will always weigh yourself (for example, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday).

    Authorities inside the area will need to have an intensive understanding
    of laboratory and labeling techniques, infection security precautions, appropriate blood attract
    approaches to the elderly and for infants and even more. The institution has persistently offered
    ideal programs and services for those struggling to achieve certain levels of body weight.

  21. The internet is fueling the success of music because it
    can be listened to at any time of the day and anywhere in the world.
    Often, long term schedules with a bit of breathing room work best.
    Another radio commercial production tip to chew on is to make sure the audio quality is excellent on any spot
    your produce.

  22. No longer does a music lover need to bother about traveling out of range
    when a fantastic song comes on over the vehicle radio. Hardware mechanisms used in the manufacturing of a
    Wi - Fi internet radio system is less complicated and
    the point of ergonomics is kept in mind by the manufactures.
    Perfect for long trips and for up to date information on road conditions ahead.

  23. Break your 3 normal main meals into 5 smaller portion
    sizes - morning, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. Cucumber contains
    sterols which can help to lower cholesterol and prevent carbohydrates from converting to body fat.
    That way, the actual process will end up being much less frustrating and, for the majority of people, enjoyable.

  24. s better to use whole foods made from scratch for good health.
    Authorities inside the area will need to have an intensive
