Sandpipers play,
chasing waves.
They catch lunch,
on the run.
For sandpipers,
life is always a beach!
Cheers to you from the lucky sandpipers at Moro Bay California~

Bardzo dobre zdjęcia biegusów.
Ptaki te są bardzo mało spotykane w Polsce.
Nie widziałem ich jeszcze w naturze.
Pozdrawiam i życzę miłego tygodnia.

BONJOUR CINDY
Sourire ce matin chez moi
Mais à tout prendre
De loin une caresse, un regard de tendresse
C’est un secret offert, à peine dévoilé
Un rayon de soleil au travers des nuages
Une ride au coin des yeux ce matin en est le souvenir
Comme une fleur fanée désirant refleurir
Un instant, un infini bonheur
Une façon d’ouvrir si librement mon cœur
Ce jour un éclair de lumière en ouvrant mes yeux
Comme un bel arc-en-ciel, dans un coin de ciel bleu
Je te souhaite de passer
Une très belle et bonne journée..
Gros Bisous
Bernard

Bonjour ou Bonsoir CINDY
Si votre cœur est désemparé, une bonne nouvelle peut le ranimer
Si vos yeux ont envie de pleurer, laissez-les allez sans retenue
Les émotions ne se commandent pas
Si vous riez et que la peine vous meurtrit
Ne changez pas d’horizon
La musique peut vous aider à garder la bonne humeur
Si la passion n’est plus comme avant
Lui l’amour est en vous et vos sentiments s’enflamment et feront plaisir aux autres
Si vous n’êtes pas poète, ni écrivain , gardez une âme d’artiste
Et faites valoir vos ressentis avec une pointe de fantaisie
Si l’on ne vous découvre que des défauts c’est que vous n’avez pas changé
Et que l’autre personne qui vous critique a surement autant de défauts que vous
Si moi vous trouvez que je ne suis plus comme avant
Je peux vous dire que je n’ai pas changé, je suis restée conforme à mes idées
Mais je pense que le temps est compté et que les années s’effilent doucement
Alors mieux vos encore en profiter
Bisous bonne journée ou bonne soirée
Votre ami BERNARD
