Anne Mary Schaeffer was at Manchester Beach when she spotted a half-dozen Bottlenose Dolphins.

Bottlenose Dolphins, also called Bottle-nosed Dolphins or Gray Dolphins, are extremely intelligent. They seem to be fascinated with humans. They can grow to thirteen feet in length.

Here are a couple of photos of these dolphins, taken by Allen Vinson off of Walk-on Beach on The Sea Ranch.

Allen Vinson spotted what he thought were porpoises. Luckily Allen had his camera with him. They turned out to be Bottle-nosed Dolphins and they sure seemed to be enjoying themselves. A group could be seen surfing a wave together, again and again.

Any day you see Dolphins is a good day! Thanks to Allen for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

It's fun to see what people do with driftwood that has been tossed on the beach. Margaret Lindgren found this structure on Walk-on-Beach at The Sea Ranch.

The bluff access to Walk-on-Beach was closed for some years due to bluff erosion. However it recently was reopened with the trail moved a bit inland. Many are very happy and grateful this trail is back open.

Yes, we need rain. But what we are getting are beautiful, sunny days, albeit very cold for the coast. Allen Vinson caught this lovely sight of Gulls in the water yesterday, near Walk On Beach on The Sea Ranch.

The sunrises and sunsets this past week have been heavenly. I will share some of them tomorrow.

Margaret Lindgren was struck by the beauty of the wind-sculpted dunes at Walk-on-Beach, which is on The Sea Ranch. This lovely beach is found via the public access trail of the same name.
