kinda like this...

we spent the weekend on the oregon coast.

my senses sing when at the coast.

on saturday, just before sunset, as the rain persistently fell, i was captivated by scurrying sandpipers (i am pretty sure they are sandpipers). i found myself just watching them run and pause to eat with their little tailfeathers up in the air and run again and again. rapid zigzagging feathered beings.

oh they just filled me with joy.

seriously.

i love them.

i caught a couple on film. if you turn up the sound, you can hear me talking to myself above the wind and the waves. i forgot the sound captures me if i talk to myself. and. ahem. it does. so there i was, standing, camera out in the rain, by myself, and giggling like no one would be listening.

so yes, spending time with me, sometimes...well, it is kinda like this...

you made my morning with this wee video of the little bird and the giant waves and the sea - oh the sea.

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.. i'm refreshed.

i'm not able to watch you tube videos because of my blasted computer connection, but i can still hear you giggling in my head, still see the little birds scuttling about as the sheets of waves wash over the sand. how lovely that you live as close to that rugged, breathtaking northwest coast as you do - and that you are able to breathe in every ounce of its goodness while you are there, always. thinking of you this morning while i watch my own little birds just outside the window - xoxoxo

I think I could stand there all day long...the fact that you were whispering and laughing in the background makes the entire two minutes of video that much better.

Liz, I love those little guys. Your video is perfect with your giggling. One has to giggle while watching sandpipers scurrying around on their skinny, long legs. I love the Oregon Coast and will be there the first week in April for our annual trek for Spring Break. Seeing your video makes me even more anxious.

I love that you captured these little cuties. I confess I have a thing for them too ;) And don't you love how they are always on tree pose? xo
