Virginia Beach/ Cape Henry Lighthouse/ Dolphin Photo
Last evening we went on our second dolphin cruise and things went much better. There are now photos of dolphins but not the perfect dolphin shot. That remains as elusive as ever.
This morning I arose/ awoke/ fell out of bed at five am and half hoped there would be a fog bank outside the window so I could return to the interesting dream I was having but no luck. There were dolphin waiting down by the shore as they ate some of the tons of fish that appeared to want to visit Atlantic Avenue.
So I ran down there and took some more photos. Today I hope Beth will agree to go with me up to Cape Henry. It is the oldest construction project financed by the US Federal Government. George Washington signed the bill. And it’s still standing? They built another one some time ago because they thought it was going to fall down.
But it never did. And it still works.
When we get home I am planning to write another post or two about the historic background of this place. It really does occupy a central point in America’s history and Virginia’s history. Maybe I can increase the value of this blog by doing some of that.

Too bad you didn’t have the bi sigma lens for those dolphins.
