Good News, Bad News

Good News

An email popped up last week, asking for permission to use this photo in a brochure for Morris Animal Foundation, a nonprofit organization (and one of Betty White's favorites!) that invests in science that advances veterinary care for companion animals, horses and wildlife.  

I said yes.

Robin, the graphic artist designing the brochure, spotted it in 500px. My account is new - there are two whole photos in it - but I'm so glad I started it.

Bad News

My zoom lens stopped working. I'll take it back to the camera store one day this week. I'm not sure what will happen next, except that I'll for sure be getting a refund on its recent doctor bill.

But...

More Good News

My zoom worked long enough to capture some seabird photos on my trip to the coast this past weekend. Whew!

I'll be adding some of these and others to my accounts at 500px, RedBubble, and FineArtAmerica so check them out and spread the word! Thank you!

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!

With Love from Port Aransas (days 3 and 4... sun, seabirds and saying goodbye)

May we see after the rain, fair weather,

after the darkness, light,

after these storms and tempests,

a gentle calm. Amen.

~St. Cyprian of Carthage

Until next year...
