    What an amazing shot, Samsue!

    I love that he posed for you.

    Please let him know that we are all grateful!

    We didn't make it to the beach today.

    Gray & windy.

    I ended up going with my friend to the county office to straighten out a mess of paperwork for her health insurance. I was glad to support her through such a headache.

    So I'm delighted to come splash among the water here tonight.

    Edited to add a picture to the top of another new page.

    This is another shot in Naples, earlier in the year.

    Hi Coonie ! than a lot.. you know at the first instant while entering  the forum I was really scared  because I am so different  from all of you and thought no one  will response  to my postings. But  I was wrong  that time. I am  very  glad  to be amongst you guys and my fear is no more. Thanx once again  to all of you  for being  shared  with me .

    Lisa.. Lily picture  is so cool and mind blowing. Its so beautiful like you.

    3 jay.. I love  the picture  and your gesture. I am sure one day we all be there. Hope you wont forget me to put  as one. And faith,s sunset  picture  is so beautiful  and natural looking.

    barbe..  lovely picture! Is it maple or  something else. I saw the tree  with the same red leaves in the picture only.

    Such an international page, already unfolding.

    Raj reporting from India, Chrissy with a breath-taking panorama from Australia.

    Love it.

    Both coasts represented on this page: FL & CA!

    My Naples, FL shot above on this page is a sunset.

    Off to line-dance aerobics!! Our instructor is gone to her grandchild up-north, so it will be a bit of mayhem without her. This will be a real test of what I have learned in two months. YIKES.

    A couple of the really talented gals 'lead' the class by example, but they don't 'call' the dances what-so-ever. You just have to go from your memory & their example.

    Happy Friday.

    How's abouts we start the weekend party a little early? That way by the time Marlegal and the other Friday peepers peek in -- we'll be in full force.

    Does anyone have a theme for this week's wikii-wiki?

    xx00xx00xx00xx

    After this line dance fiasco, I may be in need of a life-guard recusitation..........

    Favor to ask.

    Remember when I posted the YouTube footage shot in NY..... there was a rather prominent 'fanny' exposed in the back row -- nearest the camera.

    Anyhow, I hired my buddy to 'edit' the film, so as not to embarras anyone. We just put it up in place of the other one. Unfortunately, the first video was already up to over 500 views. (Which is a whole lot for me.)

    In any case, if you would be kind enough to click this link, it will help restore a few of the missing views & bring a bit more visibility to that great day.

    Thanks for your help.

    HI Everyone,

    I have been away for so long that I could not possibly read the last 90 pages.  I hope everyone is doing well.  Faith, I just saw your youtube video and it is great.  I also looked at Goldie The Gold Fish and the Daisy.  As with the first time I saw Daisy, it made me cry again.  I think of Saint often.

    Well, I hope to keep up with this site.  Have a wonderful beach weekend and send me some warn weather.  Here in Buffalo, NY we are freezing once again.

    (((((HUGS and PRAYERS)))))

    Heymoose

    Lisa those tide pool shots are wonderful. And your flower shots are the best I hope you post on photographic sites like my DH.

    Just got an email from Taiwan he has  9 new species of bird shots this week and is safely on his way home.Smile

    Mum. I can't wait to see his bird shots.

    I always look forward to his latest captures.

    Lisa. Love the tidepool shots.

    Hoping that everyone is 'safe' tonight from rising waters. It is amazing to watch the footage of the waves crashing, swirling, cascading. Such absolute power when Mother Nature runs amok.

    HEYMOOSE!!!!! Welcome 'home' to the beach. Hope that you are able to commune with us on a 'regular' basis. The word regular means something different to everyone, but once every 90 pages is hardly enough. LOL. We're much more engaging than that. LOL. You'll have to get to know our 'newbies.'

    My goodness, what beautiful pics, ladies. So peaceful to look at, and such a restful place to come at the end of the day. Thank you. ♥

    I watched your video, Faithie! You make those children so joyous. I spent the day at my son's school saying goodbye to everybody that has done so much for my son, and words cannot even express my gratitude. I hate saying goodbye to such a wonderful group of people.

    Now I have to get serious about this packing project... There is at least one friend following us to Florida. He is driving down to help us unload and unpack, and he's not coming back!

    Good night, beachies.

    MissyB! How had I misunderstood that you were switching schools right now?

    Moving right now?

    I had somehow extrapolated (in my own Swiss cheese brain) that you would move some time before the next school year????

    I'm thinkin' that was in my brain-only...........

    You're coming down now?

    We'll be nearly neighbors!

    Soon!!!

    Welcome to FL...............

    Marlegal, you know how to get the party started! I'm too pooped to pop, but if you guys are still at it tomorrow, I'll just have to find a way to be torn away from my packing project for a little fun. Wink

    Yes, Faithie, my son is off two weeks for spring break here starting tomorrow, and then his new school starts their spring break, so he will start his new school at the beginning of April. There are a lot of reasons for this timing, but everything has lined up so beautifully. I know moving between school years is ideal, but with his special ed program, the transition for him won't be as dramatic as being the new kid in class at the end of the year. He is sooooo excited.
