Gone fishin’

Thank you Scott. I thought the portrait orientation might add some energy, and give me a chance to include the waves on the beach. I had not thought of hauling out the manual yesterday . . . there it is. See this little camera? Next time you decide to focus on that tree over there instead of the windsurfer, WHAP! Right across the nose! Uh-oh. Miss Sadie is looking at me with narrowed eyes. There is a No Nose-Whapping Policy in effect at the Writing Studio and Bait Shop.

Birgitte, my response vanished – it was a beauty, too, but I’ve forgotten how it went, so just Thank You.

Thinking is good exercise. I should do it more often. For one thing, not a single exciting plan will ever be implemented if I do not focus on it and move it forward. I am very good at the beginning part, but digress a good bit in the middle part. As I am fairly certain I do not have 40 years to wander in the desert, I had better tidy up my middle parts. Oh dear, talk about a metaphor that has gotten completely out of hand. More thinking required.

I’m glad you liked the windsurfer. The slideshow is easy. Upload the photos to the post, save them, and press Insert Slideshow. 😉
The hard part is deciding which images to include, and in what order.
You should never worry about me when I’m thinking. It does me no harm–although I haven’t had any really good ideas, either. On the bright side, I’ve discarded some bad ones, so we have that going for us.

Thank you. I am working on Converting Thought to Action. That, I’m pretty sure, is a Good Idea.

Fee, if I ever give up blogging entirely it will be in order to retire to Scotland. The climate suits me and I could spend my golden years–OK, my bronze years–learning the language. Then I could stride across the moors declaiming poetry in Gaelic, with a strong midwestern American accent. Maybe striding is putting it too strongly. Hm. You see where thinking gets me?

The windsurfer is visiting summertime neighbors across the road. I don’t know that they read blogs much–certainly not in the summer, as our internet service is . . . you know.

Thank you–I liked the gull too, even though he was an accident. I’ve wasted a lot of time trying to put gulls in the picture. They wheel about my head, talking to me, and divebomb the dogs, who dance about trying to bat them out of the air, but the moment the camera comes out they swoop away. I tell you, the wonders I capture aren’t a patch on the wonders I see.

See how that works? We should have gone into philosophy. Hm. Maybe not.

Thank you, Anna. They do indeed. And the Disreputable Duo concurred.

Thank you Kathy. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you, Isa! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
