    Morning gals! Lisa, great shots for Barbe. Faith, it is great to meet sisters, I totally agree. Well, yesterday was a picture perfect postcard day. Here is the view looking west from my master bedroom balcony.

    Tide went out in the late afternoon.There I am wondering around collecting shells like a little kid.I never want to leave the beach.I know I am a very strange person but I don't give a hoot.LaughingMy DH says I am just as obsessed with the ocean as he is with his birds.Undecided

    You're a match Mum! You fit well together like my DH and I.

    Lisa, did you get to Coronado Island or have dolphins run with your boat? That was the first time we'd been with dolphins in all our travels.

    Mum, I could take an hour to walk 300 yds on a beach.  There is just SO much to see when looking down.  The sound of the ocean and the birds in the background.  So much life underneath our feet.  I LOVE it.

    This morning the beachwas littered with dead puffer fish.My husband said the fisherman caught them in their nets and threw them overboard since they are unedible.Poor pufferfishCry

    Stupid puffer fish is more like it! You'd think they'd have evolved enough to avoid the nets! I think they're darling little egotistical atitudinal fish.

    Thanks for the well wishes, beachies! When we first arrived, there was a lot of rain, but this week has been so sunny and beautiful. I'm sorry I missed you, Faithie. I would love to meet you one day.

    Mum, if I was at the beach with you, we both would be collecting shells and be transfixed by the beauty and power of the ocean together!  Interesting about the pufferfish. I heard in Japan they are considered a delicacy. One man's trash, another man's treasure, as they say.

    Here is a pic from Cocoa Beach 5 days ago. I remember mentioning the awesome sight of pelicans flying in CA, but didn't have my camera. This time I did! Wishing you all a peaceful night.

    Youth at the beach:

    Saint's daughter, Cinderella is on the far left of the picture. Snatched from her FB album. Her high school spring break adventure to FL with the band.

    We are now safely in INDY for two entire nights. We will only have 2 nights in a row -- at a max -- until the very end of the month.

    Barbe, thank you.  I surprised myself.  I was going through pics from our trip in 2007 and saw this one.  Cropped it a bit and it turned out just right!

    And how the heck would rabbits get to an ISLAND in the first place?? Surprised Let's see....a hawk is flying with one it caught, but it wiggles enough to be dropped and luckily enough there is an island underneath it. The next day the stupid hawk does the exact same thing with a rabbit of the opposite sex. Hmmmmm. Pretty far fetched in my opinion!

    It is real. I believe it is a bird sanctuary. The first rabbit was already pregnant.
