Dock of the Lagoon

Came down to Florida for a funeral and haven't been taking too many pictures. Luckily I had my phone on me when we went out to dinner at a waterfront restaurant in Sebastian, FL. The first is the full color version and the second is the sepia styled image. I know it's not fashionable but I really love how the sepia one came out.

By the Water

So, I took a random turn today and found this little area without a lot of people and a surprisingly small amount of garbage everywhere. I say that to point out how much garbage I've been seeing everywhere I've been since I arrived here in Florida. It's almost like the locals just don't care about their community and toss garbage everywhere, even going to far as to dumb garbage in empty lots just to be rid of it.

Anywho, after the sunrise we pulled over at the Indian River Lagoon and walked for a while. Once we were under the Melbourne Causeway I noticed the water moving and soon saw a dolphin (or porpoise, I really don't know. But for the sake of this story I'm going to go with "dolphin.") Since I am like a trained special forces soldier in my reflexes I grabbed my Android and took some video. If you have 5min take a look. If you don't... well, you're not missing much. Please Note: I  will be playing the role of the narrator and Rufus will be playing the role of dog .
