Mackguyver, I'll see your koi and raise you a few (?).

Again I say, "Ditto!".

Nice one! They certainly make for some beautiful subjects, don't they?

Indeed they do! Lots of colours and easy to take pictures of.

Koi's big brother slipping through the waters of the South Saskatchewan River. Not nearly as pretty nor as easy to snap, but the best I could do.

Nice, but now I have to raise you one - here's a really big brother swimming by me in some shallow water in the Gulf of Mexico - and no, it's not a dolphin, though I have pictures of them (wild ones) somewhere...:

P.S. I don't recommend swimming at this beach - here's another shot from nearly the same location:

Mackguyver, this is the best rejoinder I can manage. I don't have a lot of pictures of marine creatures. Orcas along the Pacific north-west coastline. Not fish, but at least they have fins. Magnificent creatures.

Okay, you win 8) and I'm sure that must have been quite an experience to see and photograph the orcas. It reminds me of a documentary on Discovery or National Geo I was watching one time. The narrator was somewhat sarcastic (which was funny) and he said something like, "No attacks on humans by killer whales have been reported, but it's distinctly possible that no one has ever survived an attack to report one."

To me it looks like a painters mixing palette

Yeah, I heard this before but I won't change the title.
Seems to me now that it does resemble a painter's palette.

I certainly wouldn't want to swim with them in case they felt they needed a bit of a snack.

A couple of harbour seals in the wild

Okay, here's a few more that fit with the theme:

River otter:

Manatee mother & calf:

penis fight - sort of:

You gotta love manatees. Never seen one save in pictures.

They are fascinating creatures, but quite difficult to photograph above water.

Water fowl splashing? The first one's on a pond in Beacon Hill Park in Victoria, BC. The second one's on the Pacific at Cattle Point, Victoria, BC. Both widgeons, of course. I'm tapped out.

 

[mackguyver]

Cool shots and I'm about tapped out, too. This is really stretching the keywords and captions of my work - and my site's search engine . I've tried to be better about it in recent times, but my old work is lucky to have a caption - especially random / misc. stuff like this!

I'll finish things off (for now) with Four-of-a-Kind - there was a lot of splashing x4 right after I got this one frame off - but those are still in CR2 format...:

Nice shot, mackguyver. Well done.

I was more interested in the grasses than the ship but I like it as a backdrop.
