One day at the beach Jello came upon a rather deep hole some enterprising young people had dug.  She sniffed around the edges, then slipped down the side.

Clearly unhappy there, she instantly bounded out just as I snapped this photo!

~ Sand Circles ~ WPC: Rounded ~

Posted on November 1, 2017 by Lindy Le Coq

 

Patterns in ocean sand have always piqued my curiosity.

When the wind blows at Long Beach WA, dune grass is stirred.  The tips tap against the ever-shifting sands – creating a pattern – forever in flux.

Fellow WordPress blogger theoutershores, identified the sand critter that makes squiggles appear above ground, as it forages just below the surface.  Thank you minustide, for introducing me to Alloniscus!

This morning, Jello and I walked to the beach before sunrise. The air was clean and mist clung to the dunes, as she romped and I ambled.

Sun shimmered on the crest of incoming waves in soft hues of pink and blue.

We disturbed a bald eagle that was feasting on carrion and flew off a distance to await our departure.

Another golden hour!

~ Glimmering Anna’s ~ WPC: Glow ~

Posted on October 21, 2017 by Lindy Le Coq

What an inviting challenge this week!  Each synonym of glow conjures a different interpretation; shine, radiate, gleam, glimmer, flicker, flare; luminesce.

Anna’s Hummingbirds are year-round residents in my suburban sanctuary.  This one stayed still long enough for me to get a fairly clear photo — at the same time he was warning me away by flaring his bright chin feathers!
