We went on the amazing Cape May Dolphin Watch. It was our third time, but our first time with grandson, Harry. It was a joy to watch the wonder in his eyes, not to speak of the wonder in his father's eyes, as the latter stood mesmerized on the side of the boat by the beauty of the sea. And the dolphins!! We saw dolphins the other times. A few barely peeking up. Too impossible to photograph. But this time there were hundreds leaping everywhere, close enough to the boat to see without binoculars. Their glossy bodies rising in wondrous curves. I used silver acrylic to get that shine. I wanted to mirror the glorious dolphin curves in Harry's hat, the stern of the boat, and even in the splashing white foam of the sea. What a memorable day! The dolphins were too quick for my camera, but not my inner artist's eye.
