And Finally...Birds, blossoms, boats and beauty...part 7
I had no idea this walk would end up taking a week to post, but I'm going to end the series with a few random images. Thanks for joining me.
Birds...
Blossoms...
Boats...
And beauty...
This last image has a funny story behind it...
All along the cliffs are coves. Some are more secluded than others. This cliffside above obviously had a wonderful natural watercolor effect that I wanted to get a better look at, so I moved closer to the edge of the cliff overlooking the secluded cove below, camera in the ready... But before I shot the image I looked down on the beach and realized there were about a half dozen naked men sunbathing
And here I was with my camera, looking like I was trying to photograph them, not the cliff...!! OMG..I looked around to see if anyone was watching me, and then backed-away-very-slowly...trying to look as nonchalant as possible. LOL!!I then proceeded to take the photo from a more politically-correct distance... Sheesh, welcome to Santa Cruz.
So ends our walk along West Cliff Drive. When we got back to the car, Daisy just plopped down on my lap and slept the whole way home.
***************************
I have to make a run to Costco today...hopefully my new sunglasses are ready since I can hardly even read street signs anymore with my old prescription. And George and I are shooting a wedding tomorrow on Mother's Day...fun stuff.
**************************
So...Happy Mother's Day MOM! You're the best! I love you very much...

Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.
@lydellphoto - I loved your comment. it occured to me that I never really apprecaited my children until I became a grandfather. I inserted grandfather for every place where you wrote Mother and it works really well too.
N. what great shots, Happy Mother's Day, May it be as great as our Lord can make it for you. ~
That's quite a colony of cormorants! Love the photo of the surf pounding on the wall ~
Getting married on mother's day...hmmmmm.... Ok...WAY too funny on the naked men!!
Beautiful shots! I know about the wedding on mother's day...our son Nick got married on Mother's day last year...only day they could get ocean side down here (unless you want to wait to get married for 2-3 years). Too funny on the naked men. I was hoping to hear skunks response to that one. Never know what dangers lie at the edge of the cliff! blessings, Jenny
Love the last two shots...wild oceans waves are so beautiful
