...thoughts about everyday life--with its joys and sorrows and oh, so many mysteries--
about opening our eyes to see God's hand and HEART in the details of daily life and about learning to hear His whispers of love in the midst of a shouting world...
I know I promised photos of seal pups when I returned from San Simeon, and I will be posting far more than you will probably care to see! Tonight, however, I must just give you a tiny taste... a teaser, if you will. I took FAR too many photos (well over 1000 in two days!) this weekend and am still in the process of downloading them onto my very slow computer. (ah, the joys and downfalls of digital photography!)
It was a wonderful weekend full of California coastal sunshine and a multitude of seals--huge males, many moms, and many, many tiny pups! A feast of nature at its finest... the wonders of God's amazing creation!
So, for tonight, enjoy these photos... there are more to come! I promise!!
...one of the male elephant seals--take a look at that nose!!
...a "mommy and me" moment... (this pup was probably a couple of weeks old)
a wordplay on the song title "It's The Hard Knock Life" from the musical 'Annie.' why? because, though at times life seems like it's just full of 'hard knocks,' it is truly full of wonderful displays of God's love for us...if we will but look. He enjoys reminding us of His amazing love in even the smallest ways!... like in the shape of a rock... a heart rock... whispering "My love for you is rock-solid!" so, this is what i want my time on earth to be about --pursuing A Heart Rock Life--seeing and delighting in the creativity, wonder, and love of the Lord no matter what life brings my way!
a country-girl-at-heart transplanted in the heart of a southern california city, a well-loved daughter of our heavenly Father, a lover of music & colors & the smell of wet dirt, sea air, & freshly-mowed grass, a worshipper of Jesus, an avid admirer of the Creator's handiwork displayed in the details of His creation, and an amateur photographer of that amazing handiwork...
Oh... look at the seals! They seem to be laughing! I love the series you've shared earlier too, especially that last picture. Amusing!
ReplyDeleteYou're very fortunate to catch the sight as such relative distance! Love the pups..
Oh, I love the baby and momma ... and the big nose. :)
ReplyDeleteI love how they all just lie there like big fat suntanning sausages. Can't wait to see more! Oh, and tag you're it. ;)
