If I were a dolphin I would have to make a lot of changes –
move much more quickly,
eat a steady diet of fish (without the taco!)
talk more, laugh more,
and play more everyday!
I'd have to get rid of ALL of my things
and stop worrying about anything!
Hmmmmmmmm…

This is the time of year to be gentle with everyone you meet.
The guy who just cut you off in traffic might have gotten some really bad news,
and be so distracted that he forgot his manners.
Or the young woman on her cell phone who doesn't seem to realize that she is
driving a car on a busy highway, might be talking with her mother who is in the hospital
five states away.
Whatever the reason, people are driving badly these days.
It seems to happen around the holidays.
So, be cautious, be patient, breathe, and get there safely.

It was a great dream for a couple of hours…
The world's smallest yacht!
Is this the party to whom I am speaking?
Resident Lizard at Grover's Gallery!
St. George Street,
on a quiet night.
St. Augustine, Florida.
Grateful for the usual suspects…
dear friends, family, cats, dogs,
blue skies and the moon and stars,
but especially for my time spent in nature.
Time that pulls me out of my head
and back to this beautiful complex world.
I am grateful for that.
Lights reflecting on the bay by the Bridge of Lions
remind me of sitting on the end of a pier, a long time ago,
and hearing the water lapping gently on the shore,
while being hypnotized by the rippling reflections of the lights from across the way.
One of my very favorite things!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Let the beauty that you love,
be what you do.

Fish together!
Vilano Beach, this morning!
Human, Stork, Egrets.
Our Moon was closest to us last night…
could you feel it?
She climbed out of the clouds and was beautiful for the rest of the night.
The tides were crazy high
and the cats were just crazy!
Lots of folks out to see the "Super Moon."
Full Moon over the Harbor in St. Augustine, November 14th, 2016.
Ducks still swim in ponds and the sky still reflects beautifully on the water.
The sun rises and sets and the moon too.
And so we must also,
rise and set with the rhythms of life.
Ducks at Treaty Park where a historic treaty was signed with the Natives and subsequently broken.
