No snow here.

Where the dolphins were.

When I came back from my walk and provisioning chores this morning – I saw the dolphin chase boats off the end of the pier. So, I grab my camera and rush down. Just in time to see one last splash and then the dolphins were gone. But, I did get a nice picture of “where the dolphins were”.

Back up to the room for second breakfast – I am a fat little old hobbit – and then back to the pier for a little swim.

Decided to take pictures of parrotfish. I was cruising around with this guy

bullethead parrotfish – male.

When – what was that?

Surprise! A turtle

A cute little turtle swam right under me. Glad it wasn’t anything dangerous, because I had no clue it was there. 

Parrotfish – they start out as female and then transition to males. Wonder what the fundamentalists have to say about that? 

I was thinking about Carlton. Did we love each other “enough”? Or did we just stay together for rainy afternoons and cold nights? I decided that Carlton was always there when I needed him. And, I believe that I was always there when he needed me. And, that will have to pass for love.  We were not grand romantic characters.  

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H.L. Menchen Baltimore Sun, July 26, 1920.
