Curio Bay, another beautiful Catlins Coast Beach, and habitat of Hector's Dolphins, the smallest species (1.4 metres)and found only in New Zealand. This was the view from the house in the dunes I was fortunate enough to stay in. For two hours in the afternoon I watched two schools from here on the deck - the dolphins and the Curio Bay Surf School - both a joy to watch - and to see man interacting with these wonderful sea creatures was special. The dolphins are so graceful,and playful. I am sorry I have no dolphin pics to share - I did get some, but black blobs in the sea are not very interesting. They were too fast for me. There was no cell phone coverage and no TV but with a view like this who needs them. Taken with Canon 450D. Thank you for looking, your opinions are always welcome and appreciated.
