true colors


after my last post, i thought maybe i'd write a few posts all color related and call this one "white," but there are some adorable girls waiting for their jumping photo, and since they jumped for me, it's only fair of me to get their photo to them as quickly as i can.




i have so many sand piper photos {or whatever the tiny, full of caffeine, skittish beach birds are called} but i have never captured them flying, so finally getting them in the air is crossed off my bucket list. {kidding…that was never on my bucket list. snort} anyhow, it's amazing how their wing span makes them look at least twice as large as they actually are…something i had never noticed before.


and now, 
my favorite quote of the day.

"Don't sacrifice your peace trying to point out someone's true colors. 
Lack of character always reveals itself in the end."

  2. what kind of building is that in the 3rd photo? its shape is like a lighthouse, but I don't see any light. any way, I like it with the sun's light peeking through those lovely clouds.

  16. i LOVE your description of the sand pipers as "caffeine birds." Good job getting that shot of them in flight - I KNOW how hard that is! (I also have a million photos of them that I look through and don't know what to do with. A sand piper coffee table book? :)
