can you stand a few more

well, this is my blog so you're going to have to!!!!!

:) :) :)

It sure has turned chilly.

Last night I couldn't wait to get into the old jammies and big granny robe

and cosy up on the couch and work on the scarf

and watch one murder and mayhem

programme after another

why is there nothing but cop shows on TV?

I miss the sound of the sea......

it's a constant there

and the bright blinding glare of the sun

making shadows

and

 not allowing you to see what you're looking at while taking pictures!!!!

Thank goodness my little camera knows what I want and takes them anyway!!!

I found this little fellow on the other side of the pier one morning

with a treasure he kept all to himself

no sharing this with the others

a half eaten apple

that was completely gone by the time I walked back

he had a good breakfast that day

so much better than stale bread

this is the pier that has been rebuilt over the last two years

the old one was destroyed in a hurricane

it is built of concrete and the building looks like a McMansion but will weather soon and fit in better with its surroundings

being under the pier was like being in an underground parking lot

or

if one used ones imagination

an ancient Egyptian Temple

complete with a little wooden

pyramid!!!!!!

these chairs were empty but still enjoyed the view they had

outside one of the oldest motels along the beach

we really must remember to take the chairs next time!!!

we went to see the lighthouse on the island we stay on

it's called

Bodie

pronounced

Body

we know that because we speak the native tongue after so many visits!!!!!

we spent three weeks down there one year and did everything there is to do and you listen and hear the way the locals say things and learn

Whhaaaaancheese......

c'rulla

manteeeo

not mantayo!!!!

Anyway, the lighthouse is undergoing a renovation and cleaning and it looks like a rocket ship ready for takeoff

the wind rushes around the metal scaffolding and makes a very strange noise

not quite a whistle

but a sound very much like heavy traffic in the distance!!!!

wierd!

there is a wooden walkway that goes out over a marsh full of birds and tall grasses

the water is the colour of rust and the light and shadows are wonderful

the sister and I on the corner.......she's the one making the O

amber coloured water....

think it's caused by the plants.....

so.....

that's it for today

have been catching up with the blogs and flickr on and off with working on the scarf

the house is so clean I haven't had to do any of that kind of thing

the resident housekeeper is so much better at it than me/I!!!!

but it will wear off soon and I'll be back behind the vaccuum me thinks!!!

thank you all for the nice things you've said these past few days

I really do enjoy hearing from you all

and I hope I'm not boring you too much with all the photos...

but I took so damn many of them

I have to share!!!!!

Have a great day

or afternoon

or evening

ahhh

just be great

like you always are

!!!!!
