LIFE'S A BEACH!

Hmmm, did not know that all seals didn't have fur! When I lived in Vancouver, there were seals at Stanley Park, but they were too far or fast to study their "fur".

Barbe, I think all have fur but some have more luscious fur than others.

Oh well, luscoius trumps any kind!!

Lisa, I'm envious that you see seals right on your beach. Thanks for the pics

SoCalLisa

you are welcome Mary...

There is an elephant seal rookery up North of San Simeon and it is entertaining to go watch them.  I like to see all the pups, but watching the males spar is also cool.  Couldn't find my pics so here's one from Google.

seal are fun to watch (though when fishing I get pretty angry at 'em... )

but THESE guys are my favorites!!!

I wish DH and I had had a video camera as we were walking along a deserted stretch of beach here in town a few years ago.  We walked about 2 miles along the beach with a seal swimming and playing right beside side us.  It almost felt like it was taunting us for being land bound.  Either that or it was inviting us to come on out and play!

SoCalLisa

good one chabba

It was fun

Mary and I are partial to Harry...we met him on a BCO chatters get together in Florida..now this isn't exactly Harry but his cousin I saw out in San Diego

SoCalLisa

now look closely, how would you like this behind you if you were the little black bird with the fish in his beak?

barbe1958

HAHAHAHAHA, did the "little black bird" get away with the fish, Lisa?

Chabba, that is such a sweet story! Once when scuba diving off Myrtle Beach, a fish stayed in front of my DH's mask for an unreasonably long period!! They just stared at each other in wonder!! hehehehehe

SoCalLisa

Barbe, I didn't see who won.I also wish I had my better camera with me.

Hi beach gals!!! I've only gone thru about 3-4 pages and the pics are gorgeous.....as always:).



Can anyone give me any tips about posting pics from iPad. I don't have my laptop anymore and I'm trying to learn a whole new trick......just turned 50 this year so I may not be a swift learner.....LOL.



Hope all of you are having a good summer and some real life beach time!!

SoCalLisa

Well, I turned 70 last year..lots of tricks yet to learn..

I don't have an ipad, but I think you can post if you have photobucket or picasa web from that..

Good to see you  Coonie

barbe1958

GREAT to see you Coonie!!

coonie

Hi Liz and Barbe! Great to see y'all too. Until I'm able to figure out posting tricks I'll just have to enjoy everyone's beautiful pics:). Hope y'all are doing well!!



I'm gonna try photobucket later...

Excited!  I just sent in a deposit for a small 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath condo on the beach in Brookings OR for 8-8 thru 8-11!  Salty air soon--yippee! 

marlegal

Coonie, it's soooo good to see you hon



Unless something changed in the last week or so, there is currently no way to get pics from iPad to bco pages. I tried for months and others finally told me it was a losing battle. If I ever hear otherwise, I'll message you!

marlegal

P.S. I still wouldn't trade my iPad for anything. I love it! I do still have my PC though for when I need to post a pic

mumito

Wow I thought I was the only one who went back to my old PC to post photos. Am totally addicted to my IPad but have been stumped on photo posting for this site.

Hi Mum, are you home?

barbe1958

Joni, are you going without your DD? Now that would be a real holiday!!!! Will you see that haystack island place?? Hope you get great weather and a good rest.

Mum better be home because I'm going to her place for lunch today!!! Hrf and I will be banging on her doors in a couple of hours. Wish it was sunnier.....was looking forward to a dip in the pool - not dodging tornados again.....

Eph3_12

Barbe, yes, I am going with me, myself & I. DD has to work + she's house sitting for $, so her boyfriend is going to housesit at my house & take care of the animals (probably for minimal $).  I am taking several projects but will probably not do 1.  I'm just gonna do what the spirit moves Cannot wait!

marlegal

Eph, that sounds heavenly



Barbe and Mum, jealous about lunch...but really happy for the two of you too 😘

SoCalLisa

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARL

barbe1958
