We Are Blessed To Be Living In Such A Fabulous Area
Great to see a new post from you. I love the photo you put on FB, #4. Patience paid off that morning. How exciting to be in a kayak or water board...I'd probably choose the road like you. Glad to have you back blogging.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Coleen. Some weeks there are not enough hours to do all that needs to be done, and blogging, too. I submitted this photo to the newspaper in San Luis Obispo and it is online along with about 20 others. Check out www.sanluisobispo.com. Should be an icon showing whale photos. There are some really amazing ones from others that were closer to the excitement or had much more sophisticated equipment with which to take the photos.
