Pelicans coasting up and down on the air currents,
as graceful as anything that flies.
Watching them reminds me to relax and lighten up.
They seem to know that life is meant to be enjoyed
and that there's time enough for the important things,
and that play is one of those important things.
St. Augustine Beach
Thanks, my peeps!
Two suggestions...

Downtown is this way....no, it's that way...you're both wrong...and I want to go to a *big box store anyway...
*Name of the big box store withheld for some reason...
( I've got the photo, but can't find the words...
any suggestions???
PLEASE!)
Laughing gulls, St. Augustine Beach
Florida is full of surprises.
Who knew that you could pull together a fife and drum band
from the Clay County Sheriff's Department,
get them to wear skirts
and perform in public?
They are really good
and they even let a woman join in on the fun!!
How cool is that?

Three flags
Two gates
Two mailboxes
and
One plant.
Is there a story that goes with this old house in St. Augustine?
It appears to be a happy one...
The colors are agreeable to both #24 and #22.
They are close, but not too too close.
And they share a plant!
Old St. Augustine, Bridge Street
A beautiful moonlit beach makes a walk irresistible.
My shadow stays close by,
but almost eludes the camera.
Almost!
Shoes in one hand, camera in the other,
life is sweet.
Moonlight on the water, fishing boat on the horizon.
St. Augustine Beach
The season begins...
Make it your own!
St. Augustine's Nights of Lights, from now until the end of January, 2013.
Thanksgiving
Giving Thanks
Thanks Giving
There's so much to be grateful for...
food on the table,
enjoying the hammock without mosquitos,
another year that I don't have to roast the turkey,
yet get to enjoy it and all the trimmings.
(Thanks Karen!)
Thankful for good friends getting closer
and for feeling more relaxed in my own skin,
and for the little angel who came to live with me for awhile,
and for his mom too.
Grateful for the ocean just over the bridge,
and the moon hanging in the trees,
and my Klesha (the cat, Klesha!)
still with me.
There's much much more,
so thanks to all
for all!
And have a wonderful day!
Sunset off the deck after mostly cloudy days.
It lasts only a few moments,
but fills the heart to overflowing.
The story of sea spray and sand and wind and rain
on the pier piling.
St. Augustine Beach Pier, exposed!
When the fish are running in seaside towns,
the word spreads quickly.
Some years ago, a close encounter with Hurricane Floyd,
stirred up the surf and the fish and our restless spirits on Cape Cod.
Here's hoping that all of our friends in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania,
are safe and warm after their collision with Hurricane Sandy.
Herring Cove Beach, Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Spread your wings in the sun,
a good way to become buoyant again!
IT IS A LIE
It is a lie - any talk of God
that does not
comfort
you.
Poem by Meister Eckhart, 13th century mystic, translated by Daniel Ladinsky.
Nothing is as it seems,
or is it?
Is it even more so what it seems, than what it is?
See the film, Cloud Atlas, for a mind boggling cinematic experience!
What's it about?
I have no idea,
but I loved it
and want to see it again!
Reflections at Guana River State Park, Florida
A piano player who could turn every song you never knew you knew into a tango,
to go with perfect dinners, delicious service,
and good company.
The season of gratitude begins.
A balmy November evening at the Casa Maya, St. Augustine, Florida.
Shadows and leaves intertwined with sunlight,
like fingers acting out a child's nursery rhyme.
Shhhhhhhhhh...
Beach renourishment is complete.
Welcome back to Anastasia Island State Park!
A silvery morning gives way to a beautiful clear day.
Morning moon, the day after Halloween.
A wobbly almost full moon in the trees.
Has the owl gone to sleep?
