Thinking of you.... what are the ants doing? have you checked?

Stay Safe!!! Big Hugs across the bay to you!

BTW, I love that GIF.... Awesome!!!!

to add to the siding and seafoam inna air lol

ME,

Maybe you should post a gif of a "happy Ida Fizzled out" dance! LOL

Liking forecast much better now that Ida has lost some of her ooomph!

A couple of yachts have anchored right off my dock! Argh! Going to have to watch them to make sure they don't break loose...... Remember the boats in the bayou after Ivan??? In people's yards, on top of each other, in one home's living room! The boat closes to the dock has two lines out, hopefully its got a "good hold".

Keep a watch on those ants! LOL

Stay safe!!! XXXOOO

Oh, just left the beach in Destin, the waves are picking up, the water has come up quite a bit in the past couple of hours. Will post pics later....

Spike: I hate posing, and would rather be watching purdy colored whirligigs on weather maps, but that draconian rat b**tard Crab says I have to tell you "Be Safe", as if that's going to be critical information to you, or something.

Good Lord, BE SAFE, by all means, and here's an idea, DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE and remember to WASH YOUR HANDS.

For this, I gave up summer camp, so I could be poster critter for obvious axioms.

pfffffffft!

Nice pix! It's calm on the south end of East Pensacola Bay with 3-4 feet of water rise (just over the dock). Other than that, Navarre is quiet.

here's something for all you JumpingLizards fans
i think both of you will go nuts

i am thankful for any rides this past season, and for WarrenMillerdotcom for making winter look good... .

HOLIDAYS

i am peeking outside, into the duskiness of another beginning of winter. it's all bluepurple now and the daylight is like fog. the trees feel like they are full of water, sculptures made of dark bluewater, very dark, slowly hulking, figures of listening, and maintaining an aware kind of sleep. they seem to embody knights waiting for something unknown, uncommittal in your presence, in a fullness of an involving pause. in a glance you become like them all, simultaneously the group, the stand, the grove, and each one as well, for a moment. you have shared time. to have time like this, within these moments, is not to know speech. not to rely upon speech to carry you through a world of moments when alone and pausing near trees at a time when the night is fading into the first shadowy glimpses of lightening, the deep purple time when you begin to see, the less for the ears and more for the eyes beginning of time, the trees hold your attention as you pause then. the whole world as you know of nature, when starting off in the night, within the night, the move with a wider attention, much wider than you as you know you in daylight, the movement of your body through hidden obstacles, uneven path, reaching branchlets, sudden stones or boulders, the life awareness you know as your self reaches out further from within. you are listening to the world in order to move through it. and at the pause between the world of night and the world of day, you begin to find characters, everything diversifies, becomes itself unto itself, in your presence. before the colors of each thing, each object that seems still and lifeless, each living thing, the grasses and birds, and those that seem to be somewhere in between like the clouds and the streams, before these slowly gain more and more of their colors, and daylight becomes the day, you are still and pausing and this is where you renew.
