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.

A volunteer from the Virginia Aquarium teaches on our dolphin cruise about dolphins. I learned that they sleep with half their brain and are aware of any approaching danger with the other half. They really are amazing creatures. And if a Genie appeared and asked us if anyone would like to become a dolphin my wife would be overboard in just a few seconds.
Virginia Beach/Dolphins/ Dawn And Day Three
, originally uploaded by Davidlind.
Today is day three of our week long vacation at Virginia Beach. And it promises to be a hot one as the torrid heat that is gripping the midsection of the country reaches out its tentacles and taps us on our red hued chrome domiums.
The sunrise was satisfying if not spectacular. Here is a photo. I am going to delete most of the photos I took last evening on the dolphin cruise. My slick friends are being more elusive than normal this year. Do they know it’s an election year? Probably.
