    I always look forward to your sky and water photos. I live land locked, with houses and wires surrounding. I get such a small glimpse of the sky unless looking straight up. I guess that is why I enjoy it when the sun seeks me out. Sweet sketches and little Zoe in her winter cocoon.

    Your Zoe always delight my heart, even much more than your stunning skies ... with their love our creatures bless our lives and make of us better persons.

    Hope you're having a great week so far,
    I'm sending hugs and more hugs to you, darling friend

    It looks so peaceful at Cape May. Lovely sunset-twilight shot. Nice fence, it's good that the gulls seem to enjoy landing on it. Zoe is cute as a button again.

    Water and blue skies... what more could you ask for?! Oh, and seagulls... although they can be very importunate I still love those birds! Your haiku is wonderful too. Big hug from one 'Ocean girl' to another... Love from ZEEland (the region in the Netherlands where I live)

    Like your winter, we have had ever changing rains. Some have stormed relentlessly and some are as light as a spring shower. But, in the end, all are long lasting and leave us, in California, with the hope of the passage of a sustained and years long drought. Today I awoke to hard rain and now I'm enjoying white, fluffy clouds. I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

    to unburden my heart i am sharing my comment from my visit to lea-
    dearest,
    to be with you is a healing so needed. thank you; my heart is crushed. some moments i can hardly breathe. my heart is with humanity. my heart is in protecting the earth. my heart is in responsible living where we protect the future for those who will inherent from us and our actions. i have always chosen the highest and best good for all-not just a handful of the very rich. my heart is with the disenfranchised- of which i find myself in the cross hairs. lifetime caps is a death sentence for me as my treatments will reflect these caps in far less than a year. without treatment i will not last one year. this is my reality and even as i face eminent danger for my well being my heart never stops beating for us all.
