THEY REALLY CAN JUMP HIGH

I've been seeing more wind vanes around town. I am sure it is due, in no small part, to the worldwide interest generated by our series. Today's offering is a Porpoise still referred to as a Dolphin in these parts. Some may even call him Flipper but they would really be dating themselves. Not that I would know anything about that, you understand.

    Are you saying that you googled 'dolphin' to find famous ones?!! :-)
    I like the copper glow.

    A dolphin by any other name is still a dolphin! I must look for some vanes when I go to the country.

    Who's Flipper? ;)

    Wow! I think that is the first dolphin I've ever seen jump over a house!

    I am sure your series has helped re-ignite the wind vane craze of South Florida!

    We have a bunch of comedians on CDP, don't we? And a lot of them are from up north and have never seen dolphins jumping over houses and stuffs.

    Re alleys - I heard that's where cats play, and I've always wanted to see what alley cats do when they think no one's around to watch.

    But I couldn't find any alley cats, so I took a picture a staircase instead.

    You really have to find a house with a nice mural and a fancy weather vane!

    You have the best sense of humor and a great eye to spot these fabulous vanes and mailboxes

    You got a beautiful shot of this one, and I love the coppery color, too. It's great to have Google to help us find phrases and names that old people would use. I have one on my next Astoria post tomorrow. Nope. Not that *I* remember when it was in vogue.

    I suppose this means dolphins have a good sense of direction...

    Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. See you tomorrow!

    Wow, he did jump far! I prefer the word dolphin to porpoise, but I'm not sure why.

    Funny!

    I think Dolphin is a prettier word, but without as much porpoise.

    Lordy I'm relieved you've got past that snake business and are now back to dolphins/porposes/Flipper.

    Ahhhh Reclining Nude by Modigliani. Nice one.
