3. Thanks for sharing! Several of these would be lovely to have enlarged

and hang as wall art! And it's always nice to have a human face to pair with the DU screen name!

4. Your photography

is so good. I love your pictures, always. These make me remember that I was meant to live on the ocean while stuck in Kansas. I so miss it. Enjoy it while you can. I have so many shells just like those. It has been a while since I took them out. Thank you for them. It is snowy with a light freezing rain here. I feel better just for seeing them.

Sorry for sounding so morose while loving your shots. We all are sick of this government but I also have a dog barely on this side of needing us to help her out of this world after losing a horse a few weeks ago. I am allowing myself to be bummed but your pictures warmed my heart right back up.

7. Oh, MuseRider

I lived for 12 years in St Joseph, MO and Lincoln, NE before moving to North Carolina. I was so happy to finally be living within a half day's drive to the beach. I love the ocean. I can't handle the sun any longer, but I'll sit on the deck in the shade and watch the ocean for hours.

This is my first beach trip without my beloved dog, Snowy. Her time came last summer, so I know what you're going through. She was such a companion. I miss her so much.

I'm glad my few photos brought some momentary relief to your day.

10. They really did help.

Tomorrow is the bad day. She got so she could not move and cried when we tried to pick her up to take her in. I found a vet that would come to our home.

I will think of your pictures until I can get back on and look at them again. Really, thank you.

I am terribly sorry to hear about your Snowy. They make life such a joy and then it stops.

We have her well drugged so she won't suffer much more.

Again just beautiful pictures. Thank you for them.

5. Wow, my dear mnhtnbb!

These are wonderful!

That elegant bird in the first one! All the sea shells! The glorious sun coming up into a rosy sky! The prickly pear!

And of course, YOU. You look happy and that is as it should be. I like your long hair.

Thanks so much for sharing these. A fantastic photo essay.

8. I am so past ready for a haircut!

My age and my asthma put me in the high risk category for Coviid-19 and living alone there is no one to take care of me if I get sick. So no visit to either the hair or nail salon since late February. I was just about ready to risk making an appointment in early September when the numbers here started going up after never really getting to the level where I would have felt comfortable going to the hair salon for a 2 hour color and cut appointment. So here I am!
