It was a good morning…

…back in mid-January. With the cool weather the last couple mornings I remembered this draft post I never completed.

Overnight, a heavy fog settled over the lake. The waters were calm. It was me and the ducks, gulls, and one grouchy egret. One ought to take a recording device of some kind and capture the squawking everyone makes at dawn’s first light.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Ocean

And here I thought the Weekly Photo Challenge was “Beach”….

When you say “beach”, I’m not thinking of the local beach down by the lake. “Beach” = Ocean, and it has been since August of 2007 when the last time I step foot in one (ocean). I am of the recent opinion that that fact in itself qualifies for a much needed “beach” vacation…I’ll be in Galveston for nearly a week next month!

So this week I do it again.

No one will convince me otherwise: you create your own interest in life and you alone choose to share it with humor, pity, blandness, annoyance, or not at all. Some might say I’m doing a self-description (did I mention conceit, self-infatuation, and boastfulness?), but whatever it is, here goes my week log – whether it is interesting or not, is up to you:  Continue reading “A week (weak) of interest”
