Intense
“Questions you ask indicates the curiosity you hold, reveals your thinking patterns, states the intensity of your longing to know, demonstrates your desire and involvement, determines the quality of life you live.” Anand Patwa
Yesterday’s Finds
“Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world– fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don’t know their names– though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them.”
― Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds
Laughing Gulls
Trying something new. Small collection of laughing gull photos. These pics were taken on the beach in the City of Cape Canaveral between May and October 2019.
Please let me know – too long to load, bad mobile device rendering, looks good, etc. Now the pics.
It’s not the early bird that gets the worm, it’s the one who knows to go outside after a rainstorm. – JAMES SCHANNEP
Hurry
Struggling with shorebird ID. I have this guy as a willet, but just saw a post calling it a sandpiper. Any ideas?
Morning
“When my toes are sunk into warm sand and the ocean is lapping my feet, when I breathe in the scent of salt and hear the cry of a seagull, I know that I am returned to a place of restoration. I am home.I can heal here.”
― Toni Sorenson
You Put Your Left Foot In …
“Every time I stand before a beautiful beach, its waves seem to whisper to me:
If you choose the simple things and find joy in nature’s simple treasures,
life and living need not be so hard.”
― Psyche Roxas-Mendoza
Strolling on the Beach
“In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth.”
― Rachel Carson
Contemplation
“The sea-shore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world.”
― Henry David Thoreau
