And those happy pictures of Black Jack are, I think, some of the best I've ever seen of him - sheer exhuberence. <br /><br />I miss your regular posts, Carol. I hope all is well with you.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-2963147602555619492010-10-01T14:36:37.366-07:002010-10-01T14:36:37.366-07:00Carol beautiful post.

I been telling you that you take beautiful images of nature, but you also take excellent images of people. Photos of Bill are very artistic and professionally done. It is so hard for me to comment on everything you say, looks like discovery never stops for you. You see so much around you. Keep up the good work, and will be over to see your next post. BTW Bill climbing something we have here too. Matthew only gets the very first level for now.

I missed it :-( <br /><br />I like bagpipes but they make me cry. The Economist's obit this past week btw was for Bill Millin, piper for the D-Day landings in Normandy. The obit says "bagpipes, by long tradition, counted as instruments of war" & later "...he walked up and down at the edge of the sea. He remembered the sand shaking under his feet from mortar fire and the dead bodies rolling in the surf, against his legs. For the rest of the day, whenever required, he played." <br /><br />Your photo reminded me of it....hornblowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428146299208610591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-82522846316644248062010-09-13T19:02:05.109-07:002010-09-13T19:02:05.109-07:00I love the seal rocks!

I love the climbing shots of my brother!! How marvellous that you saw the whale!!! It has been one of my dreams to see one close up! We did see them breaching off the coast near Brisbane, Australia... my first sighting!!! Pats for Blackjack and hugs for you both!

S...I agree with most everything that Penelope said!<br />Seals or sea lions, perhaps.<br />Unadulterated joy in Black Jack's run (though in the first photo she almost looks menacing).<br />Love the beavers. The one shot seems to be one large and two small...is it a family, do you think?<br />The spider web does look a little intimidating for little legs, but my experience of my elementary kiddos is that they would make it work.<br />I have never seen the Burrard bridge, but it immediately made me think of arts and crafts architecture, of which I am very fond.<br />The most recent occasions that I have listened to bagpipes were sad ones--memorial/funeral services for slain police officers.<br />Waiting to hear an update on the eagles and ospreys.EvenSonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032555334605790413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-75255083275393258762010-09-12T14:06:05.520-07:002010-09-12T14:06:05.520-07:00So great to see this post, Carol!

And the climbing apparatus that gave Bill his “king of the world” moment resembles the ropy web of a giant spider that must be difficult for little feet to weave through. It was nice to see Black Jack’s sheer joy during his unleashed moments. Also, I was surprised at how close the whale came to shore. Although a thrill to see, I wonder if it was in danger so near industrial pursuits. The Burrard Bridge is one of my favorites and I so enjoyed the lovely photo of its lights. The music/mind elements are also interesting to ponder and it occurred to me that bagpipes (when out of tune) could play with anyone’s mind. :) Thanks as always for sharing your wonderful journey!Penelope Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01965692242969563279noreply@blogger.com
