Beach Yoga

Just spent a week in Pensacola Beach, visiting family, but also breathing in the sight and sounds and smells of the Gulf of Mexico and the snow-like sand, and letting go of my 'real' world and its daily stress. 

Obviously we aren't the only ones who come to the beach to de-stress. 

On one of my morning walks, I noticed this gull apparently giving yoga lessons beside the water.




  

He's pretty good, isn't he?

Hope you had a relaxing week!

The Trouble with Teenagers

Look at me when I'm talking to you! 


Where do you think you're going? Turn around this instant! We're not through discussing this!

I am SO outa here!

Perhaps it's due to the dropped temperatures or the frost on my car this morning, but I find myself drawn to the photos from my trip to the coast a month ago.

They're still mostly untouched, barely looked at, stashed in a file on my computer.

I've decided to save them for cold mornings like this, when I can step into them and imagine the sun warming my skin.
Aaahhh.... that's better.

This dramatic seagull scene caught my eye - so many stories popped into my head! 

...First I imagined an argument between a husband and wife.
...Then it became a group of seagull bullies taunting and ostracizing another. Poor thing!
...That made me sad, so I quickly thought of this teenage story. 
(Now that I don't have any, I can see the humor in it!)

If it triggers any dialogue or stories with you, please share!
