I took a walk down by the ocean this morning with a friend of mine… I love it when the pelicans fly by in their tight formations… Sometimes they form long single or double lines and play follow the leader, swooping … Continue reading →

And who doesn’t like big sea mammals???

Posted on April 17, 2015 by pouringmyartout

Elephant seals can look very cute and cuddly… But stay away from the males… especially during mating season… those are just two teenagers. I think the big bulls can weigh like a ton or more and crush a car. If … Continue reading →

I just had a birthday… the actual date isn’t important… (take that, identity thieves)… and Jessica, my older daughter, bought me land in Scotland. And the title of ‘Laird’ or ‘Lord’ in Scotland literally means; ‘landowner’ because only the nobility could … Continue reading →
