Hi, Ted, I do love this album so much. It is great how you pictured these dolphin shows. I did put it on slideshow, and I saw them jumping as if it were real. Thanks, Ted, I had a great time looking at all these great shot. It must have been a fantastic experience. Did you just take pictures, or did you make also contact with the dolphins yourself? It has been a while ago that my Spider album had been featured (June ) and that you gave a reaction on that feature, for which I still want to thank you. Due to fam. circumstances I wasn’t able to react back at that time and the months thereafter. Only towards the end of September I got more sparetime, so now I try to catch up. Have a very nice Sunday, Els (wely246/evanwely)

Hi Ted, this is another favorite album. What a blast to be in the water with the sting rays and to hold and ride the dolphins. They are little beggers. I loved sea world better than Disney world. My son when 12 was walking on top of the little sting rays. I was not too happy about that. This and your jet albums are my favorite. Now I know why I have you on my favorite list.. Have fun, bsjbrenda

Hi Ted, Dolphins are such special creatures - thank you for sharing these amazing photos! It must be quite an experience to swim with them, or even to be in such close proximity - lucky folk! Take care! Best wishes, Mandy

Ted, I am so pleased you enjoyed my latest album, YOUR glowing appreciation and encouragement is so very much appreciated! I have really enjoyed this album. Your comments are wonderful and such an insight. Your new camera has stunning quality, and all credit goes to the photographer of course. The peacock images are stunning. This is a wonderful momeneto of the occcasion, very good indeed... regards poppy

said poppy1812 2006.08.25 at 03:34:23 PDT

Ted, I am so overwhelmed by all those words of appreciation that you heaped on me in the guestbook on the Peru album. Coming from you, I take it as a great honour. Thank you, my friend! I started photography only three years ago and have a long, long way to go to reach your standard. I enjoy it and friends like you make it worthwhile. I wish I could spend more time with your other albums, but, right now, WS is behaving very erratically. I will come back later when it settles down. Warm regards, Suresh

Hello Ted, Thank you so very much for your kind words in my featured album Ponta da Piedade. It was and still is a very happy day, I enjoy all the lovely messages from all my friends. When I’m not so busy anymore, I come back to view your albums. Have a nice weekend sunny greetings from Holland, Joke

Great album Ted with wonderfully humourous captions to add the finishing touches. I can see that you were enjoying yourself that day and what a great place to take a camera to! Very enjoyable indeed. Best wishes, Peter Oooops - I almost forgot to thank you for commenting on my Winter Wonderland album - good off you mate and much appreciated. Cheers, Peter

said georgieboy98 2006.07.20 at 20:22:41 PDT

Lucky Connie, I'd love to ride with the dolphins myself. Chance of a lifetime, I'm sure! Great album Ted, bet you stayed dry! ( with the dolphins, I mean! ) Leslie

Hello Ted. Thanks for stopping by my albums from our trip to visit Laura and her husband. We had such a great time and Laura, being the prankster that she is, could not help herself. I did not realize she was taking so many photos of me until I get to see that album privately! I never laughed so hard! If only everyone knew that I don't have very good balance, so standing on the railing would be totally out of the question, much less balancing on a branch above the lake! lol I love to have fun and so does Laura. But, after seeing her album, I must be the serious photographer! Yeah, right. I am so sorry that you had to go outside to have a laugh with the smokers! I am keeping track of all the entries in her album. In fact, I just got off the phone from her over one of your entries under an image. The tears were just rolling. Thank you my friend for all the wonderful comments in my albums and especially in Laura. Hugs and GB, Lynn

Bonjour Ted,i'm back from vacations and i see you had some fantastic times yourself,what an amazing experience this must have been!!Love the way the dolphins interact with humans and the wonderful show they're giving,not to forget these fantastic birds shots,a great album.Well my first "big test" with the 30D has been done and so far i like what i see, i had to deal with all kind of weather and lights which was ok for testing the camera (and the guy behind it ;0)!I'll put some pictures on WS as soon as i can.To answer your question about the effect with the street lights,a special filter,a good angle and voila!Take care my Friend!Luc

Hi Ted! It is wonderful to watch the Dolphins play and perform, and you have captured them well -- great action shots! Really love those Tropical Birds and your new camera has really done them justice.. Well done and thanks for sharing.. Gladys, Western Australia.

Hi Ted, I'm sure that it's a lot of fun in this park. I really like your pictures of the dolphins and also these beautiful tropical birds. Your captions enhance this album to make it wonderful! Thanks for visiting my Living By Numbers album. I have a picture with you lucky number but I had to leave it out of the album. If I'll find another number plate with your number on it, I might add it. Take care, Yair.

said ykarelic4 2006.06.27 at 07:35:47 PDT

Wow Ted! How much fun could this have been? It must of been a dream come true to swim with dolphins and rays! I have snorkeled in the same ocean as the spinner dolphins on Maui but then swim away when you get in the water. I would love to do this sometime. When diving, we had 5 to 5.5 foot bat rays swim out of the murky water and catch you by surprise. What a rush! We also would dive with harbor seals and sealions. The sealions can get agressive, but the harbor seals are more playful. Anyway, you got some great images to remind you of this trip. Thank you for taking us along. I had a great time. Best wishes, Lynn

Dear Ted, Well I am green with envy as anyone else viewing this album will be too. It must have been such a great experience for you and your family to visit the dolphins and there are some wonderful action shots of the dolphins and great family phtotos too :o)I really emjoyed this album and hope you kept that new camera dry from all those splashes. Take care now Jill

Hi Ted, I see you recovered from the wedding by a great vacation! A wonderful album! I just see how you enjoy it to have the camera BACK!!! I followed smiling your continued test of your new camera. Did you see anything on this vacation in direct vision and not only on the LCD of your camera?? :-)) Thank you for your many wonderful messages in the last month. I was much more busy than usual and it was very nice to get some message in this time! :-) Take care, and keep uploading - if you have time between taking more and more pictures . . . . . . .:-) - Galit

Cajun Buddy thanks for letting me visit closeup with flipper, fantastic action/interaction shots! Wanted to climb right into the picture and play, too! It really looked like you had such fun shooting,too, I shared your excitement with every shot (no mozzies, cool, no snakes - a bit more compfy than shooting in the swamps I bet!). Thanks for all the fun! Have a fantastic week, my friend. And as always huge german cowgirl hugs from Houston! Marita

said worldtripper3 2006.06.25 at 13:23:58 PDT

Hi Dear Ted! What an amazing adventure! Connie must have been so thrilled! Great captures my friend. I thoroughly enjoyed this album! Was that Jarrett and Jenny kissing the dolphins too? I wasn't sure, so I didnt want to embarass myself and leave a comment on the picture...so I did it here instead..lol..thanks for sharing your visit to Discovery Cove with us all...take care dear friend...hugs and much love to you both...Darlene

said briansbabe2 2006.06.24 at 07:56:23 PDT

Hi My Friend Ted!! I'm happy to see you had such a nice vacation. This is a wonderful happy album. I didn't know that there is such a place where you can swim with dolphins. They are graceful, friendly and intelligent, and your photos wonderfully capture the amazing communication with them. I hope you swam with the dolpins too! Awesome and well timed shots of the dolphins in motion! Gogeous bird photos! Ted, you've done a great job and the album is a real delight! Thank you your very kind comments on my Jerusalem album and for your compliment on the skirt :). A wonderful weekend to you and yours. GB, Orly

said orlyyahalom 2006.06.24 at 01:53:15 PDT

Hi Ted. What a brilliant album, it looked like you had great fun while you where getting your wonderfull shots of the dolfins. Not to take anything away from the rest of the album the birds are also wonderfull with lovely coloring. Thanks for sharing, regards Mike.

said mikejc1 2006.06.24 at 00:43:38 PDT

Ted, I love your new album. I had to force myself to quit leaving comments on photos so I wouldn't wear you out. Thanks for your kind comments on my family reunion album. It's so hard to get that many people to be still long enough to compose a good shot. I know the photos could be better, but the memories are of the highest quality possible. I appreciate your love of your family so much because I am exactly the same way. Thanks again for visiting my humble albums. You're such a great photographer so it really means a lot to this "new kid." Have a blessed day! Carole from Tennessee
