Hello, and Happy Easter! I'm going to my mother-in-law's house for a barbeque after a while. My sons will be there. My ex won't be there. He'll be with his girlfriend's family (the girlfriend deserving the sympathy card! We all get along.)
Last night I was playing around with my Yahoo 360 page. I got my own radio station launched. Playlist includes Nirvana, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Stone Temple Pilots, AC/DC, Zep., VHalen, Hendrix. I must remember to add Smashing Pumpkins. My Yahoo ID is lagunahuna if you'd like to visit.
My son and I went to the harbor a few days ago.
As we walked to the end of the breakwater, we could see a sea lion sitting in a shallow pool by the boulders. It was really cute!
The sea lion sat there for at least 20 minutes. We were very close to her and it was like looking into the face of a dog, in a way. I felt like I could just go, "Come here" and pat my hand on my thigh, and it would come right to me.
We saw 2 crabs using sign language as we were walking, too. One of them was missing it's large claw. The other one was waving it's large claw around, as if talking in sign language!
There were plenty of sea birds. I'm not sure what kind this was; I should look it up. There was a swallow flying around among the boulders, under the piers, and along the breakwater where we were walking. They migrate into the area about this time of year and build their nests of mud against upper corners of structures, like eaves of houses, etc.
The "Lil Toot" shuttle boat went out. One of my favorite things to do it lean over the sea wall, or sit on it, and see the waves crash on the boulders.
The pale green of the sea foam (which glows at night!) is a beautiful color. I love to watch the ocean.
I like to sit on the sand at night, watching the sea foam, especially when the moon is full and moonlight is sparkling on the water. It is so awe-inspiring and things are put in perspective. Just being in natural surroundings is such a healing experience; we all need to do more of it.
A whale-watching boat went out while we were there. A 15 foot whale was cruising around inside the harbor a couple of weeks ago, a grey whale, I think.
We left because I had an eye doctor appointment. I got to test my driving skills on the way out. A delivery truck parked very close to the back of my VW, but there was enough room to back and turn then stay in reverse to round the front of the truck. It's fun to drive a VW because you can get out of insane places! The truck driver mouthed the words "I'm sorry" as I went by. I felt like thanking him for the great opportunity to boost my self-esteem. When it was time for the doctor appointment, I couldn't find my keys so I called to postpone. We found the keys in the car about an hour later.
Hope you enjoy the photos of the harbor and have a good Easter Sunday! Before Christianity celebrated resurrection, there were events or mythologies surrounding the death/sacrifice/crucifixion of Osiris, Attis, Krishna, Quetzlcoatl, and many other dieties, masculine and feminine. The word Easter is from Estre, Esther, Ostara (pagan), and notice the similarity to estres, estrogen! It's the rebirth/new life thang.
