Coastal Days

by

I love visiting the coast! Here in the Pacific Northwest of North America, our beaches may not be warm, but they are beautiful and teaming with wildlife. Today’s wildlife included Harbor Seals, Cormorants and Pelicans, a couple of whale sightings (gray?) and lots of Sea Gulls.

Harbor Seals chillin’ on the rocks.

The coast itself consists of rugged cliffs and rocks separated by stretches of sandy beaches. While the wind made sitting on the beach uncomfortable, overlooks at coves were protected and created great spaces for animal watching.

Now I’m watching the waves from the window of our vacation rental – a totally relaxing experience.

What about you? Where do you like to go to watch wildlife or just relax? Let me know in the comments – but first, set your timers for 5 minutes and ready … set … write!

Life’s Lemons

by

Do you know the saying “When life gives you Lemons, make lemonade?”

I have to say that is one saying that I love and hate all at once.

As an optimist, I totally want to make the best of any situation, but as a realist – particularly when I am the one facing some lemons, I just really want to throw them … and maybe stomp on them … and maybe throw a fit like a three year old.

What about you? Do you like orndislike the saying? Do you make lemonade when life gives you lemons?

Let me know in the comments if you’d like to share, then set your timer and ready … set … write!
