Thanks for coming along…I do hope you enjoyed.

Next time it’s sand and surf, then worshiping the heavens

Schooled

I spy with my beady eyes something on the beach

But what I spy I cannot lie is not something to eat!

What is this crap you’ve left behind on this beach I come for dinner?

If I did that to you humans FAT you’d soon be a whole lot thinner!

Nasty things…

… you human beings

Yeah I said that out loud

You’re selfish leeches, who ruin our beaches, instead of feeling proud!

Now I spy with my beady eyes something that belongs

And if in fact it’s still intact I’ll eat it all day long

And when it’s gone I’ll move along and leave my trash behind

The difference being what you are seeing is what you want to find!

So HU-MAN next time you pan my table for your treasure

Just bear in mind that trash you find brings years of joy and pleasure!

As a guest you are a pest and if you keep this up

I will fly high in the sky and aim right for your cup!

So be like me and leave the sea and beaches free of litter

For if not I’ll take my shot…

…and trust me I don’t shit glitter!

Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge – Week #43

When I saw this on the rocks in a cove somewhere near Rockland Maine, I had a shiver me timbers moment for sure. A couple actually. I mean, WHO was that crawling up the rocks??? I really had to look twice to make sure this thing wasn’t alive!

Too freaky not to shoot right?

dead rope crawling — **Arrrrrrrrrrrg…I’m all in knots!**

A little fun for Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge – Week #43

Yesterday

Yesterday, my Mother and I spent the day driving north and west here in Virginia, to capture some of the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains before winter comes.

This was a favorite pastime of my father’s and mine, as we would spend hours driving the dirt roads of Vermont, stopping here and there to snap a photo or two. Loving what the land offered our souls but loving more, our time together. He’s been gone 8 months now…but it still feels like…Yesterday.

I’m glad my Mother appreciates and allows me to side track us any time we are out, and yesterday was no exception. But it’s impossible to do without thinking about Dad and remembering all of our…Yesterdays.

Yesterday. Just the word brings to mind the song, doesn’t it?
The problem is, the original lyrics don’t fit my yesterday, so maybe I can come up with some that will, could, maybe, fit into my…Yesterday

Yesterday
All the clouds just seemed to melt away
So the sun could shine and birds could play
Oh how I loved my yesterday

Suddenly, I’m not standing where I used to be
I’m outside so I can truly see
What yesterday did share with me

Why tears start to flow?
I don’t know, it’s just that way
Dad flashed through my mind
How I long for yesterday

Yesterday
He’d have loved this simple day away
It was how we used to spend these days
Oh, just to have one yesterday

Why he had to go?
I don’t know, he couldn’t stay
But I knew he was there
He’s in all my yesterdays

Yesterday
Love came through in such a special way
As I stood before what he would say
Was prove he’s never gone away

Yesterday…for my father

TRAVEL THEME: LETTERS

Alisa at Where’s my backpack has a travel photo challenge, and as this appears to be my new hobby (challenges), I thought I’d jump into this one.

When I first saw the theme, I thought of letters. You know, snail mail letters, like this one I received from one of the busiest blogger/vloggers I know! My friend Paula Acton in the UK. She even wax sealed it for me like the blogging Queen she is!

But on seeing the entries, I realize most are of letters.

Words. Letters. You know, like the alphabet.

And boy, do I have those!!!

So many in face, I think I’ll collage them to save space and you from becoming insanely bored! 🙂

1.) The world of words being a New England (and the Bal’more O’s of course) sports fan

2.) The words of the places I love to eat, drink, and be ~~mary~~ (oops) merry

3.) Advertising is all about letters making words that drive us to WANT, NEED, CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT! And I saw a story in this group…can you? (Not to worry…all in fun. I LOVE ooze and wine!)

4.) Famous words that drew me to interesting places while in London

5.) And lastly (I know what you’re thinking…phew right?) But, lastly some local favs

These letters may not be the same as writing or receiving a letter…but as letters go…these’ll do nicely!

Cheers 🙂

Can ya feel it?

I’m having fun following my newest and most wonderful blogging friend – MLou’s Photography Blog – and for a bit of Tuesday fun, I’ve seen that she enjoys posting in what is called “Tuesdays of Texture” as hosted by Narami at De Monte Y Mar

I wanted to join in on this one as it gives us a chance to look at photos from a different perspective…how they feel vs how they look. I dig it!

Here are some of mine, but I tell ya, it was hard to choose becasue there are…

So Many Textures – So Little Time!
