This afternoon from our back porch we watched a pod of dolphins having a blast playing in the creek.  It's sights like this that remind us how much we love being here.

 

I couldn't catch a picture of the dolphins, but our great local photographer Scott Taylor offered his photo.

 If you click on the dolphins it will take you to Scott's online gallery.  We are pleased to tell you that we also carry some of Scott's photographs.
