My dolphin sighting actually caught on camera... YEAH




 




Okay so there I was minding my own business... enjoying nature.... watching hermit crabs scatter and butterflies flutter by and what did I hear? A puff of air like an blow hole -- on the back side of a barrier island in the shallows off the coast of Charleston.... as I looked up the second time I see the dolphin spin and head back to the coast... A WHAT .... A DOLPHIN... I can't believe it.... And yet I can. Just one more sign of God's great design, creativity and curiosity and desire for contact... a dolphin who came up to say hi and dart away. I stood in awe before capturing myself and trying to take pictures as it swam away. The first picture is the small area of water I was looking at. The next is the water swirl left behind the others are close ups I shot to try and capture the moment... For those who enjoy dolphins as much as mine.

This is my fish story and I'm sticking to it...

Kiawah Island CME trip




I went to Kiawah Island this weekend through Tuesday. Most days were spent listening to dull lectures. Friday through part of the day Monday it rained -hard. I tried to go to salsa under the stars in Charleston twice but the rain stopped it both nights. I was able to make a phone connection with Yaennette in Charleston and find their Friday evening dance but found it slow to a visitor. Saturday night Adalia and I hit Harbor Grill for dancing but it was slow getting started after a wedding and only stayed for a while and had fun memories trying to drive/float back through flooded roads to the island for a few hours of rest before getting up for more conference lectures. I did get one afternoon and evening without rain to hit the beach and found some beautiful nature spots along the way and later watched the sunset....

Here is a link to the video if its not working... click here
