~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It all began with Chicago's Cows on Parade in 1999. Johnny and I were fortunate enough to stumble upon the colorful exhibit while visiting that city. Since then, many cities have enjoyed outdoor fiberglass art exhibits. This summer, it's our area's turn.
A pod of fiberglass dolphins--fifty, in fact--decorate Clearwater Beach to celebrate Winter the Dolphin, star of the film, Dolphin Tale. Each dolphin is six foot tall and weighs eighty pounds, and each has been decorated by a local artist. After the exhibition is over, the dolphins will be auctioned off, and the money donated to charities.
Johnny and I took a ride over to snap some pictures for your enjoyment. As you can see, many of the dolphins are Blue.
Do you have a favorite?
Happy Blue Monday!

Hello Sally,
Those dolphins are so cute! I often think of you but I never seem to have anything blue to share. I have spent the majority of the summer at the beach which of course has beautiful blue water. Perhaps I'll share from there one of these days. Thanks for your visit, my friend, and have a fabulous day.
Blessings,
Sandi
Wonderful dolphins!

Hi Sally, I'm sorry I didn't get a blue post done. Our trip to Knoxville to see Beth Moore was wonderful. She captures you from the get go. Inspiring to say the least. I am so happy I was able to be there.
The dolphins you shared are so pretty. What a fun thing to do. We have seen bears painted like this near the Smokey Mountain National Park.
I will be posting Next Monday Sally.
Have a wonderful week.
Love, Jeanne
