My last post for some days

Sunglasses needed in paradise!



Hi my friends,

Stay tuned with me....don't go away - I'll be back.
Moving is a lot of work to do and I'll have no time anymore to sit in front of the computer. I know you'll understand. See you again in some days - we will have the Internet connection back again soon.

Thank you for all your kind comments and compliments from yesterday.

Walk With Me




Shape my heart with words of love
bring to me the moon above.
walk the walk that makes me feel
like nothing is too hard to deal..
be the one that makes me smile
and not the one that stays in a file
live with me a life of sweet
and together we will walk the beat
 
 
 
Hi my friends, thanks for all the comments. 
Enjoy the poem I have found to this triptychs of "foot prints in the sand" and see you tomorrow, here on the same spot :)
Have a wonderful day!

Nature's Graffiti


Weeds are nature's graffiti.  
 
 
 
Hi my friends,
A happy day and a good morning to all of you! Thanks for the wonderful comments from yesterday, I appreciate and enjoy every one of them.

This will be soon one of my last posts, maybe one or two more are planned, but after that you have to bear with me for a little while. We are moving out to the coast, closer to the water and we are very excited about our new home! 
 
Every one of us knows how much work it is to move the entire household - and it's still nothing packed till today. I have today to buy some boxes more for all that "stuff" and general in most cases one has anyway to much "stuff", right? 
 
My slogan is: Get rid of stuff - Free your mind. :))

Stay tuned with me and see you tomorrow!

Seagrape or Coccoloba uvifera


Coccoloba uvifera 
is a species of flowering plant in the buckwheat family, Polygonaceae, that is native to coastalbeaches throughout tropical America and the Caribbean, including southern Florida, the Bahamas, Barbados and Bermuda. Common names include Seagrape and Baygrape. It is a sprawling evergreen shrub or small tree that reaches a maximum height of 8 m (26 ft), but most specimens are little more than 2 m (6.6 ft) tall. It has large, round, leathery leaves (up to 25 cm/9.8 in in diameter) with a primary vein that has a red color extending from the base, and the entire leaf turns red as it ages. The bark is smooth and yellowish. In late summer it bears green fruit that gradually turns orange, to red, until there is a purplish fruit, about 2 cm (0.79 in) diameter, in large grape-like clusters. The fruit also contains a large pit that takes up most of the fruit.

Watch out - They are coming!

A visitor in our yard

Locust 
is the swarming phase of short-horned grasshoppers of the family Acrididae. These are species that can breed rapidly under suitable conditions and subsequently become gregarious and migratory. They form bands as nymphs and swarms as adults—both of which can travel great distances, rapidly stripping fields and greatly damaging crops.

The origin and apparent extinction of certain species of locust—some of which reached 6 inches (15 cm) in length—are unclear.

Locusts are an edible insect and are considered a delicacy in some developing nations and in history.




Hi my friends,
...and, I can assure you we have NOT eaten this colorful locust for dinner yesterday....LOL... he just appeared in front of the garage door. I don't hope there will be 100000 more of them showing up today....*smile*...
I liked his beautiful color and design and he was not camera shy at all.

Thank you very much for all your wonderful compliments to my promotion in "1steAngel-Art-Magazine" from yesterday. If you like to read it again, I have posted a permanent link to that site in the first box on the top in the right column of my blog. Go and have a look anytime. It was a greet feeling to be recognized for all my photographic work after all these 35 years to be in this great business :))

I wish you all a lovely day.

Life is Different at the Beach


"At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. 
We live by the currents, plan by the tides and follow the sun."



Hi my friends,

Surf my gallery "Beaches"...o.k.?
With a purchase you'll make my day - THANK you so much! :)

Thank you also for all the kind comments to my post from yesterday.

Turquoise Water and the hot Sunshine on your Skin

Way to the beach at Coconut Point, Florida



Hi my friends,
Yesterday, it was just to nice weather for sitting in the house in front of the computer all day long!
We went out to the beach, took a walk and I took some photos, of course....what else...LOL...

The Atlantic Ocean had such pretty blue-turquoise colors, almost like down in the Keys. There were not many people at the beach anymore, some families, one dog and some who tried to fish. It was really peaceful to watch the rolling waves coming to the shores and to listen to the screaming shore birds and to see all the sailing Pelicans over our heads.

I'll show you some photos in the next days about and I hope not to bore you with :)
Have a wonderful day, enjoy life!

A Crab at the Beach

You cannot teach a crab to walk straight.
~Aristophanes~
 
 
 
Hi my friends,
I hope you all had a nice weekend. Thanks for all of you who came visiting my humbled blog and made a nice comment. I do very much appreciate that.

Today's crab in my photo was captured at Cocoa Beach - it was dead already, poor little crab! 
 
I'm a "crab" or in better words, I'm a "cancer" in my sign zodiac, my Birthday will be coming up soon. 
And, America is always so friendly and so splendid to me, the whole country is celebrating my Birthday with BIG fireworks and with wonderful music, extra for me - but always one day to early!!! 
They just cannot wait, I guess...*smile*.... :))

I have always loved the Beach

“I have always loved the beach. The smell of the salty water, the wind in my face, the gentle roar of the waves all combine to create a sense of peace and calm.”

It seems for me that's Friday all the time...*smile*...

Have a wonderful Friday and many thanks for the comments.

The meaning of life...


The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.
~Paul Kurtz~
 
 
Thanks for all the kind comments from yesterday, my friends.
See you all tomorrow again - enjoy your day, life is to short for unnecessary problems.
