AT PEACE IN SO MANY WAYS

Sitting peacefully along with 12 other seagulls

at Point Pleasant Park one day last week

this capture says it all

~ how solemn, relaxed and serene ~

it made me feel 

after my sojourn through the trails

I saw this fellow 

high, so very high 

up in the air

relaxed bending over the edge of the structure

without a care of falling.

How can some people manage this 

while I would be glued tight to my guys legs.

  

The art of riding a bicycle

nothing like it

Your body, mind and soul

fall into line

and 

the 2 wheels draw you along.

I guess using your imagination

helps tremendously

when you come across situations like these.

Just by letting your fingers to the walking ~~

as the old advert says

and

a new peaceful world will open up to you and yours.

Smile everyone ~

Your on my DOODLE Candid Camera!

GREY SKIES REVEAL BLUE SKIES

4 months of realization came screeching to a halt
this passed Thursday when my Dads and I dealt with my surgery
and as my new vet called it a
"WINKY TUCK"
(no wonder we have a new vet
he's a laugh a minute)

Flying solo
by myself for the day

I survived
and having the security of 2 Dads

really helps me with my healing

We go everywhere together around here

as you know

but burying Mr. Orangie
and
digging him up
is high
oh so high
on my agenda.
Can't you tell?!
~~~
Psst!! I thank you from the bottom of my beach hole heart
for all the special get "better vibes" from all around the globe.
Some people don't think this cyber-love is true
but I for one know it is.
Imagine people thinking like that!
Me thinks they need a DOODLE HUG& LICK!

BACK ON THE ROCKS

Hi Ho!

I'm over here just to Jim's right hiding in the grass.

Apparently the rest of the country

was being blanketed with white white snow

while we were drenched in rain ~~~

thus the mist / warmer temps cover the shoreline

making all the rocks a beautiful shade of dark gray

and ruddy brown

The important thing is 

~~~ Ron is taking my picture again ~~

and photos of seafoam

wet rocks

and beautifully graceful seagulls

flying overhead.

"Web feet"ology

~~~Web feet connection~~~

Some gulls will hang around when I'm out in the water,

while others are just a bit wary

and head for the hills.

 Now the ducks are very calm and amiable...

 They give me a wide berth...

 because they know I'm just no threat to them

 even when I charge into the water...fetch, after fetch, after fetch.

 These two appeared to be best buds today...

Whether you have web feet 

under the water 

like myself  and Ducky 

or web feet 

out of the water

 like "Johnathan Seagull",

 our moments in and near the water

are spontaneous,

instinctual,

and

natural.
