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."

Great quote and great photos, Beth. Those are some caffeinated birds, aren't they?
ReplyDeletewhat 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.

Love the pics, of course but really love the quote..... I needed to reminded of that
ReplyDeleteWish I was down on the beach seeing those birds right about now.
ReplyDeleteOh, so true. So true. The quote. The birds wingspan. The girls. All of it ~ xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe colors are just beautiful of the sea and the sand.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun jumping photo.
and yes, lack of character does reveal itself in the end.
I'm not sure my comment went through so I'll try again -- if that wasn't on your bucket list, it should (or have been!) Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe sand looks incredibly inviting. I love one sea bird shots like that. Funny how still and contemplating they look even though I know they're just waiting a second before they scamper on to the next cheeto eating beach comber! ha ha ha!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd jump shot girls? If you're reading this? Awesome Jump!!!!!
Oh, you make me want to be at the beach! Well, actually, I always want to be at the beach, but your photos are wonderful! I love the sandpipers.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, so soft and then wow, exuberance in the jump shot.
ReplyDeleteBeth...your pics & writings are truly inspirational
ReplyDeleteIt is a great pleasure to start reading & following your blog. Cate very kindly showed me how. Again I have to say it has been a pleasure getting to know her.
I am so motivated to create my own blog...it is like a living diary of thoughts, photos & creativity
Love that quote! And your fantastic photos of course!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots... I love the one in flight... and of course your jumping photos always make me smile!
ReplyDeleteLove the jumping photo! Such joy!
ReplyDeletei 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? :)
ReplyDeleteThe second one is stunning! Just like YOU :)
