Fort Bayou Slim at the Shed...the sun comes out and a dolphin comes to play!

Here's a clip of Fort Bayou Slim...a marvelous blues band we heard last night at The Shed BBQ and Blues Joint. The food was awesome (though be warned if if you get the Jumbo Sampler--it could feed 6 normal people!). There was a toasty bonfire, children dancing to the music in front of the stage...we loved it!

Maggie was a hit and friends Cloyd and Nancy approved of the food and the music!





But that was last night....today the sun came out and temp climbed up to 60.  We set out on a drive to Ocean Springs, and got waylayed at Ken Combs Pier in Biloxi.

We thought we would take a stroll with Maggie out to the end of the pier (a classic Gulf Coast fishing/picnic pier) but never even made it onto the first board. Next to the pier is a small boat launch area that leads out into Mississippi Sound.

Some people behind us shouted "Look...a dolphin!"  Sure enough, a large dolphin had followed some fish into the small (and very shallow) area.  Maggie watched--but not too closely. Nancy got this great shot of her keeping her distance.

The dolphin spent a good 20 minutes fishing in very shallow water.

And while Nancy and I were snapping away, Maggie decided to head down the beach at warp speed.  Luckily, Bud and Cloyd enticed her back...but not before she took a dip.

Bad Maggie!
