Virginia Is For Families

Just for the record I did take a photo last year of a dolphin jumping out of the water.  He was pretty far away.

But he is a dolphin and he was  jumping.

And so having been liberated from the necessity of blogging photos taken in the winter of 2008-09 I present to  you. . .

Dolphin Jumping Out Of The Water.

I didn’t think it was possible for a day to be drearier and wetter and colder than yesterday but I was wrong.  Because today is all those things and more.

I think I remember someone saying that these dolphins  head south in the winter. Happy hunting where ever you go big guy!

And don’t ever stop trying to fly.

Here’s a photo that was overlooked in the rush of vacations and post vacation readjustment.

I used a new tool on it that eliminates some of the noise that seems to always find its way into digital photographs.

It’s also one of my favorite themes. Dolphins! This one was involved with shipping. Perhaps a bit incongruent.. But do I care?

I am not sure I like the way the filter has messed with the water around the dolphin.  I’m going to have to look at this awhile.  In the meantime here is some fabulous new music from the amazing Andrea Bocelli.

In terms of a photo that shows a dolphin’s features I guess this would be the best shot I was able to get this week. It’s not the best photo of a dolphin but that’s a different thing.
I believe this may be a mother dolphin with her child next to her. She stays with her child for about six years so it’s a very close relationship. The father is nowhere to be found.
We will be heading back to Richmond tomorrow. But we have had a very relaxing week. I hope everyone has a nice vacation this summer. And don’t forget Virginia Beach when you are choosing a vacation destination.
Where do you plan to go on your vacation? Or where have you been?
