Joy

Joy-

Whale watching on Valentine’s Day found a few whales and oodles of dolphins.  Unfortunately, none of my pictures really did the dolphins any credit.  I never seemed to get one that caught their energy and spirit.  Still, I want to post something . . . this was taken as I stood at the front of the boat, watching the dolphins leap and turn in the water.  This guy is the pin-up for that day!

Lighthouse

Lighthouse-1

I believe this lighthouse, located on the tip of Anacapa Island closest to Arch Rock, was the last one built in California.  When I lived at the beach, I could see it winking across the Santa Barbara Channel, a friendly light on a dark night.
