From the wilds of the Egyptian Red Sea, I return. My last photo expedition was for dugongs and dolphins, and thankfully I succeeded on both fronts. Dugongs are similar to the manatees we have in Florida. They are large, gentle marine mammals which feed on seagrasses. Here's a picture of one happily vacuuming up the bottom, making quite a mess in the process. Phase two of my photography trip focused on spinner dolphins. Near a coral reef two hours from shore I snorkeled with a pod of about 40 as they interacted with each and lazed the afternoon away. Over the next few months I will be processing more pictures of Dugong dugon and Stenella longirostris, which will then be posted to our web site www.brandoncole.com
