I should go check for dolphins. They are actually around a fair amount when the water gets cooler around mid-October or so. It's great that you figure out these fun things to do. I'm glad I did a few of these with my kids before the oldest signed up for marching band. Maaaaarrrrchhhhhiiiiing Baaaaaaannnnnd! (that's the band mom zombie, for Halloween!)

And I love going places where there are hardly any people around - it makes it a *lot* easier to keep an eye on little people. Especially fearless four-year-olds... It was fun!

Glad you enjoyed the photos - we had a nice time. I wasn’t born into a family of beach people at all, but some of my fondest adult memories have centered around being at a beach in the off season.

I'd never seen a dolphin in the "wild" before, so this was pretty amazing to me. I even caught a glimpse of two of them jumping out of the water and cris-crossing with each other in midair. I wish we'd gotten that on camera! Thanks for dropping by! Actually, it was a dolphin – a pod of them was traveling south.

I never would have realized that buying jellybeans at a candy store in Ocean City last April was a highlight of that trip, but apparently it was a big deal!

Growing up around salt air and water and now living in a "high desert" area...I really miss ocean shots. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face this morning. I totally love the seagull one. Of course the boys on the beach are great. <small>See what Kathi has been blogging about: <a href='http://www.dragonsglass.com/2007/10/26/closer-to-hannukah/' rel="nofollow">Closer to Hannukah</a></small> wow…I am loving all the ocean shots.

If it was a minke, even more so, those puppies are elusive. It's too late in the season to be a finback, unless you live seriously south. I just drifted by from OMSH's blogroll.
