It didn't say anything,
it just waved.
Fish eye effect! Imagine if the earth waved like water…we would be in serious trouble!

Finding the balance between busy-ness and dreams…
Will today's dreams become the busy-ness of tomorrow, paving the way for more dreams?
How to balance today with all the yesterdays and tomorrows?
In the words of Thich Nhat Hanh –
"Breathe. Smile. Walk."
It does help!

Now that's a nice green.
(Banana tree leaf, disguising itself as a fish. It looks like it's growing teeth.)

Lucky Anhinga, everything it needs within diving or flying distance,
enjoying the feast of the Everglades, without worries-
not even bothered by the tourists on the boardwalk snapping photos.
Maybe we humans are just tourists on this planet.
We seem to have organized ourselves in very strange and self defeating ways.
Where did we go wrong?

Three guys, a girl, and two dogs, passing like ships in the night.
Maybe she's the Girl From Ipanema…
"She looks straight ahead, not at he."
Maybe not.
What if the guy on the right, let's call him David, meets her in 5 years and they fall madly in love.
They'll never know that years earlier they passed each other on a beautiful summer's evening on the beach in St Augustine.
Unless of course they read my blog!
That would be so cool!
"I saw you on Laine's Blog and I've been dreaming about you ever since!"
Serendipity? Synchronicity? Stupid?
Hey, it could happen!
Tell all your friends,
"Read Laine's Blog, Thinking Out Loud,
it could rock your world!"

There's nothing half so much worth doing…
If you can finish this phrase from The Wind In The Willows, then you will know that it doesn't go with this photo, but is equally true!

On a balmy evening, the sky is refelected on the water in a hundred shades of blue and green and colors that don't have names.
It's difficult to capture the beauty and serenity of it.

Just a little something to cool you off on these hot summer days.
Happy Hot Summer!
Race Point Beach, Provincetown, Cape Cod, Winter!

Our self limiting beliefs,
the ones that thwart our forward progress,
where do they come from?
(everything on this planet is of this planet except this planet)
Our cells, our genes, carry memories, not only from our immediate relatives,
but from our distant ancestors too.
(we are just recycled star stuff)
That old fight or flight response is deeply ingrained in our primitive brains,
but so is dreaming!
Who dreamed up language, or fire, or rockets to the moon?
Maybe we won't be walking on water within the week*
but those other niggling dreams,
the ones obscured by our daily living,
it might be time to dust them off and bring them into the light of day
and see what happens.
You never know, it might lead to something wonderful!
*At least not without a stand up paddle board!

Did this gopher turtle decide to take a dip in the ocean, or did someone mistake her for a sea turtle
and treat her to a dunking?
Either way she made her way back up the beach to her hammock home with surprising speed.
It's the steadfastness of turtles – one foot in front of the others –
and they get there by and by,
focusing on one goal at a time.
This turtle had a human angel who watched over her until she was safely out of harms way.
