So, this is turning out to be one honkin' big vacation...time wise. We are into August and have been here since June 20. The seasons are changing daily now, shorter evenings, earlier mornings and the geese, crows, magpies and other feathered and non-feathered creatures are in high speed, lending their great wisdom to their young at lightening speed....in comparison to human speed, at least. In a few short months, birds hatch, learn how to swim, fly, catch prey, and how to act in accordance to their particular species. This afternoon while sitting on the beach, we witnessed a family of geese fly over...Pa in the lead, kids forming their own version of a "V" and Ma bringing up the rear! Pa was honking instructions to the kids while they flew and the kids, you could tell, were watching and learning and letting their instincts take over. In a month or so, they will have learned a great deal and should be ready to take flight with the entire Goose Flock. Pretty good for a short lesson on how to live life!
It sure takes we humans a great deal longer to teach our kids how to live and fend for themselves...like nearly 20 years! So nature has to work at lightening speed in order to survive. We, on the other hand, take our time and get our mind and souls into the game of growing up. Strange how we are the same...and yet so different!
So, now husband and I are sitting at an Internet cafe and enjoying an Earl Grey Tea and a "Cloud" where Randy has joined us. Fun!
Anyway, time is going by as the sun sets in a very different position than in June. I haven't taken many sunset pictures but I will. Yesterday I spotted a beautiful bull elk...different one from last year:) We were about 15 feet away so I got some pretty good pictures of him!
I have actually downloaded several hundred pictures on my home computer so I have some work ahead of me as we get home in September.
Ta ta for now then, dear ones. I'm having a grand time and am thankful to have this blessing of a very long, luxurious vacation!
