A dolphin bursts from the sea and flies like a bullet straight at the camera in the Chanonry Narrows, Moray Firth, Scotland. These pictures form part of one British man's collection of the world's most northern population of Bottlenose Dolphins. The dolphins were all caught on camera by dedicated amateur wildlife photographer Tim Stenton, 46, from Wirksworth, Derbyshire.

@ossobuco,
okay, yesterday when it happened your post was the first on a new page, mine was the second and it was a reply to a previous pages post, and that seemed to freeze it on that previous page until i posted a non reply post (the daily b&o)

the same thing seems to have happened to day, your reply to the finch post on the previous page seems to have frozen the thread on that page until i posted my test post

A groundbreaking ceremony for expansion of the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society was held Friday, Aug. 14, 2009. Melanie Coulter received a kiss from Gracie who she brought back from Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina.

@djjd62,
Gracie and those Irish wolfhounds are wonderful! Very Happy

Though by the name paw-breaking event sounds like Gracie just might owe some money to a loan shark or something. Sad

@djjd62,
Ok, I can see an owl but where is the barn ? What was it called before men built barns ? The soon-to-be-barn owl ? The no-barn owl ?

@Ionus,
Foist, thanks to all of you who supplied captions for the penguin pic. I took one look at that photo and felt that it was crying out for a caption. You did not disappoint me. I laughed out loud.

Tai, Thanks for the link to The Nature of Things. I can't get Canadian tv, but I'm sure that other folks can. Enjoy watching, you northerners.

Irish, The finches fighting is a spectacular shot. These avians shouldn't have a conniption. Calm down boids. There's enough for everybody. The dolphin picture is breathtaking. I gotta hand it to these meshugina wildlife photographers. I can't imagine how long someone would have to wait for such a shot.

firefly, You shouldn't post such pictures without a cuteness alert. I'm old and feeble. How much can a person take? Thanks, kid. It's a wonderful pic.

dj, You've been a busy boy. First, I loved seeing pictures of Gracie and the other dogs (and people) involved in the Katrina project. The Dog Whisperer once had a show about dogs rescued after Hurricane Katrina. He took in three. He found the owner for one. He brought it home. I blubbered. I'm such a softy. The B&O today are priceless. That's a very cute bunny, but the otter drinking from the spray is a doozy. Thanks mucho for keeping the B&O going. Love the ferret and the elk and the other pics, especially the barn owl. What a great face. Did you take any of the pics in your backyard?

osso, Thanks for the link to the story of April. She's a keeper. Bernese Mountain dogs are true beauties. Great coloring. As for the guy, the car, and the dog, I know Central Park when I see it. Love that pic.

Ionus, You don't need a barn to have a barn owl. Just like to don't need an egg or cream to have an egg cream. Some things just are what they are.
