The Leaf Game: Dolphins playing with leaves

Aloha Everyone,

Often I am asked about the title picture in my "The Leaf Game" project. It is an image of two dolphins, one is carrying a leaf on its pectoral fin. This occurred one morning while I was swimming alone. They came up to me and offered me the leaf to play with. The dolphin carrying the leaf is a common subject in my vids and pics. You can identify her by the circular scars on her left side.

 
To explain this activity further I have imbedded a video that I took of dolphins playing the Leaf Game...






They really enjoy interactive encounters when they are in the mood for it. It is very important to know when to be around them and when to leave them alone. They are nocturnal animals and need their rest during the day so unless they choose to interact its best to leave them alone.
