to the panhandle
~~
granted
it's a bit chilly right now
but
this is one of the places
where our hearts feel at home
~~
we'll be back in the snow before you know it
but
in the meantime
birds with personalities
and
baby fine white sand
and
skies dancing with color
are
the beautiful things
warming me up
while
I walk hand in hand
with the only person in the world
who understands my need
to take 200 photographs of the pelicans
without asking why
*
oh.... i am breathless seeing these beautiful captures of birds. what a wonderful place to spend your time walking hand in hand together.
ReplyDeleteOh so beautiful!!! The pelican is magnificent! A true work of art!! Thank you so much and your words are perfect!

My grandmother used to live on Panama City Beach, we spent many a good time walking the beach and me with camera in hand almost always, taking 200 photos. My husband is not so amused. You are lucky. Enjoy your stay..
ReplyDeleteI love that you have this place and share it together. I call places like this returning places. It' the place you go to touch who you are, to remember who you were the last time you were there, to wonder who you will be the next time you go.
ReplyDeleteOr, as you so beautifully said.."one of the places
where our hearts feel at home"
What an amazing pelican! It was worth all 200 shots!
Enjoy it! I love that area.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the pelican photos. I hope you shot 200 photos everyday while gone from the snow & ice!
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful! So happy you two are together.
ReplyDelete*sigh* you've got it made...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift - so glad you guys have 'run away' together. Enjoy....
ReplyDeleteSpectacular shots!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Beth... just the breathe of warm air I needed! gorgeous shots indeed! The skies and the sand and I am there in my mind now thanks to you :) Enjoy the escape!!
ReplyDeleteHi Beth you suck me right into the pictures these are again and again (i'm starting to sound like an old record but the words come from my heart) beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a sweet time with your lover my friend. Be happy.

ReplyDeleteWonderful shots and that sunset is to die for...I can't resist taking pictures of pelicans either. They are the sweetest creatures...such love in their eyes. Have a wonderful time and keep the photos numbering at least 200 each day. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWe awoke to our first dusting of fine white SNOW this morning ... but I am loving it.
ReplyDelete"200 photographs .... without asking why" - fabulous!
Sigh. Oh, you two lovebirds have a marvelous time. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteLOL...SOOOOOOOOOOO nice to have someone who understands THAT need...extra blessings to have them by your side...
ReplyDeletebeautiful shots!
I love the panhandle... Enjoy being with the one you love!
ReplyDeletePelicans are very special to me! Our Charity nursing pin has a pelican on it!! I've always loved the ocean and pelicans are part of it, swooping and diving so elegantly for their meals. I see them all over the world. Your pictures are incredible, Beth...the beautiful colors of the sky at different times of the day, the pelicans at rest, the other sea birds foraging for tidbits...spectacular.
ReplyDeleteHow special it is to walk with someone that understands your need to take so many photographs and not as why but just be patient and let you be you.
ReplyDeleteBeth ... enjoy.
That shot with the sun rays is just delicious! Sounds like the perfect getaway!
ReplyDeletep r e c i o u s . . .

the understanding from him
all very, very special. worthy.
peace, Beth~
