Good Morning Friends! Here it is Friday again! And that means it's time for
"Friday Foto Friends", so after you visit here, fly on over to
my friend Deb's place at Breathing in Grace and see what others are sharing today.
This past week we had the joy of visiting with our
grandson, who was here from Maine (click HERE for that story). One of the highlights of the week was our trip to the beach. Along with watching our grandson swim in the 62 degree water, I mostly watched the birds along the shore. Thought you might enjoy a little bird watching with me, so here goes:
"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers...
The birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea
that pass through the paths of the seas..."
O Lord, Our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!"
Psalm 8:3, 8-9
 |
| There certainly were a lot of birds congregating when we arrived |
 |
| Here's the one lone Sandpiper working his way among the tiny little crabs down in the sand... |
 |
| He has some competition it seems |
 |
| Perhaps a LOT of competition... |
 |
| Aren't these TERNS interesting? |
 |
| Not sure what these are...anyone know? |
 |
| More Terns, preening and admiring their reflection in the sand |
 |
| This white heron seems a little tentative about going into this cold water |
 |
| He tests the water with his toes... |
 |
| He turns around and heads back to the sand with a look like, "Nope, not today...this water's too cold for me!" |
 |
| This Plover doesn't seem to mind at all... |
 |
| "They went thataway...No, they went thataway..." |
 |
| The sky was cloudy and full of mystery... |
 |
| I don't think I've ever seen a Black Pigeon before!!! |
 |
| On closer look, he's really quite pretty and iridescent |
 |
| "Gotta keep a movin'" |
 |
| Ahoy There! |
 |
Now that's an interesting bird!
|
 |
What do YOU see in these clouds???
"O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!"
Psalm 8:1 |
 |
| And look at that bird! No wait! It's a Navy Fighter Jet! And I stand and salute you and say "Thank you!" |
 |
And that's all folks!!! Hope you enjoyed this little visit to the seashore!
"How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them,
they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You."
Psalm 139:17-18
