Forgot that the dolphinfish are also the insignia for Navy submariners. While working in Mystic, CT, I often met folks from the Groton submarine school who had just “earned their dolphins.” — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_Warfare_insignia

They don’t look like dolphins to me. Except the dolphin fish.
That sofa reminds me of one my Aunt would have, that no one was allowed to sit in.

I saw that mirror on a blog the other day and I thought it was a pair of serpents. Although it goes to show what I know, I still like the idea of a serpent mirror.

Thanks Michelle– I am certain that is true, and I think keeping your eyes peeled is a great, conscious endeavor/philosophy at all times.

Interesting post! Dolphin-fish are one of those motifs that once you start seeing it, you notice it everywhere. It’s a common architectural embellishment, too, and something often seen on seals of cities and associations, particularly here along the East Coast. Keep your eyes peeled!
