Water Water Everywhere

The theme for this week's blog circle is water.  I thought that it would be a cinch because I am actually near a large body of water...the Atlantic Ocean, but things don't often go as planned, and my laptop decided to not allow me to edit as well as I would like when I use my main computer at home. 

So I decided to do a review of how "water" has fit into my life lately.

Closer to home, water played a large part in a first-day-of-fishing for two smiling faces.  This lovely little park is a wonderful retreat for these types of activities, and you can see, turns out fairly successful fishing for small folks.

I am a real gull and sea bird watcher.  While at the beach this past week, a convention of sea birds did a little parade every day in the same location.  Turns out, they were waiting for the exact perfect tide time to bring good food their way.  They would all fly out together to the same location to feast around 3:00 p.m.

And, of course, there is always ONE that waits for the food to come to him.

My view every night walking back to my unit was not too shabby.  This is a lovely spot on Silver Lake in Rehoboth Beach, along a canal which affords a look at an array of turtles, heron, huge unidentifiable fish and other wildlife.

I did run into a dog or two at the beach, but I am waiting to edit my other photos when I return home.  Maybe you will see them in other blogs.  I happened to have my cell phone the day I spotted this golden enjoying some ball play.  Since the quality of my adroid photos leaves a lot to be desired, I used a painterly filter on this image.

I am watching a Hallmark Christmas Thursday movie right now as I write this, and can't believe I've gotten sucked into yet another Hallmark trap, even at the beach, even in summer.  I am packing up to return home tomorrow and will miss the sun, the water, and this little beach community, but I am looking forward to Fall.

There are more watery things to see in the blog circle this week, and once again we are starting with Tracy Allard of Penny Whistle Photography fetching portraits in Coppell and surrounding communities in the Dallas - Fort Worth metroplex.  Have a great weekend!
