Even though seagulls are a pretty bothersome bird at the beach, they can be a thing of beauty too! Here's a shot I took yesterday of a seagull taking a trip down the beach. I'm always amazed at how far they can "sense" another seagull getting a morsel of food to eat. Within seconds, a hundred birds will convene from all over the beach for a potato chip that someone threw into the air! At least it makes for good photos!
A blast from the past.......... My most favorite island in the world.......St. Maarten! Beautiful people, beautiful beaches, and incredible airplane viewing. Just doesn't get much better than that!
During a recent flight from Washington Dulles (IAD) to San Francisco, we flew over Yosemite National Park, and were dismayed to see how much smoke and fire are covering this national park. It really is disturbing to think a CARELESS camper could create so much destruction by not following the "no burn" rules during such a critical time. The fire seems to be burning with no regard to where it goes. I just hope it's snuffed out soon..............
Every now and then I see a sight at the beach that makes going that much nicer. Here's a shot I took of a young man taking his mom to the beach to enjoy the water! I think I might have seen something like this only two other times in all the years I've been going to South Beach. I think it's FABULOUS that SOME on this earth understand how much things like this mean to our parents as they get older. I recently had the opportunity to spend a few days fixing up things at my mom's house in New Mexico. She could not have been more thankful for me taking care of the "little things" that make her life a bit more difficult, and I was happy to help her. Our parents are so greatful for the little things we do for them! I congratulate this young man for making his mom's day much brighter! Here's to you my friend!
Here's a great way to NEVER forget your camera! I had to look twice when I saw this idea as it had never struck me before..............LOL Personally, I don't know why someone would get a tattoo like this, but then again, this is pretty tame compared to some I've seen. At any rate, this guy will ALWAYS have a camera with him!
