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~

I just love Moro Bay!
Yes. It has the old time, un-ruined coastal California vibe!
Love these, Cindy. My 2nd favourite (after piping plovers in which I have a vested interest!). RH
I have to admit plovers of all types are very rockin birds! I love them too~ <3
People say they like to watch fish swim to feel relaxed, but I find that watching shorebirds does the trick for me! Thank you for these beauties, Cindy! Loooove them! <3
I am the same as you. I find watching birds interesting and relaxing which is a great combination! Thanks for stopping by and have a great week~ <3
The sandpipers are playing and you photograph them so well <3 I like the fun words you used to accompany the photos, Cindy 🙂
A sweet comment from a sweet friend. Thank you Christy~ <3
Beautiful place you live!
California has it’s beauty and it’s faults (literally!) But it has always been home.
Wonderful shots, Cindy. I love that blue water!!
It is so pretty and so variable when it sheets in thin layers over flat sand. Thanks for noticing Patty~
I could watch these little guys all day long! What peace in your writing. I will continue to read your posts and look at those beautiful photos! Thank you for stopping by my site. 🙋
Witaj Cindy
Bardzo dobre zdjęcia biegusów.
Ptaki te są bardzo mało spotykane w Polsce.
Nie widziałem ich jeszcze w naturze.
Pozdrawiam i życzę miłego tygodnia.
Dziękuję mojego drogiego przyjaciela Marko! Jestem tak szczęśliwy lubisz ptaki! Dziękujemy za odwiedzenie i mają wielki tydzień!

always curious where your going to go next Cindy? You travel around more than most.
Next is Eastern Europe, some Greek Isles, and Germany/France. Then we are going bi-polar, first far north in August/September, and then far south in December. I want to see as much as I can of our small spinning world~ >3
oh you make me so jealous! Say hello to the Polar bears for me!
My friend from Norway just told me it is so warm in Svalbard (where we leave from) that the polar bears are starving and crying. I really hope this isn’t permanent. It is so bloody sad!
yes,I’ve heard about that polar heat wave. indeed,very sad!
I adore Sandpipers! Beautiful shots, Cindy!
Ahh, if you like them Resa, I am happy! <3
So beautiful!
Thank you. They are purdy-burdys!
for sure
Freedom! We belong to a world that gives beauty and joy to our days.
It does indeed, and alI we have to do in return is protect it! Hope all is wonderful with you Rebecca. It looks like you’ve been traveling which is always good in my book! <3
Beautiful pictures as always. Love seeing your adventures! Thank you for sharing. By the way, if you get a chance – check out PIPER by Pixar a delightful and very adorable short 3d animation about Sandpipers- sure to make you smile 🙂
okay. That is the most adorable thing I have ever seen! Thank you so much for telling me about it! Now I will have to go in search of baby sandpipers! Too wonderful!!! <3 <3
Amazing shots dear Cindy…. I am loving these chaser-birds by the sea… wishing you the best. Have a great day :star:
So happy you stopped by! It is always wonderful to hear from you and to read another of your remarkable posts! Be well my friend. We are coming back to Buenos Aires for Christmas. Do you live there, or are you in Spain?
Loving that gorgeous blue water!
It is gorgeous when it make thin sheets on flat white sand. Thank you for noticing!
I love the way you’ve captured their reflections in the water. Those sandpipers look as if they have a very balanced existence, alternating between being hyperactivity and contemplation. Humans have much to learn from them 🙂
The more time I spend with wild creatures the more I am aware of exactly this Sarah! We have so much to learn from them about how to live harmoniously in this world~ <3
Hi Cindy– you’re making me want to head up the coast!! such lively bright photos. thanks!! hugs!
You should come! The sun is shining and the beach is waiting for you! <3
A bird lover’s paradise! Lucky sandpipers. Love the photo story. As always, stunning photos.

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
Je t’offre un petit café

Thank you Cindy. 🙂
Love these pictures.
Love it that you do & thank you!
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
http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/637467oiseau.jpg
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

Merci beaucoup mon ami Bernard~
The blue of the waters is so mesmerising and calming. Beautiful photos:)
Natural water does that doesn’t it. It soothes our souls. So pleased it worked it’s magic on you~
Definitely did!! Hahaha:)
<3
MY youngest granddaughter was looking at your post with me and she screamed with delight “Sandpiper!” She was referring to the Pixar short, “Sandpiper.” Sometimes film can educate. ‘O)
A blogger sent me that video in response to the post and I was beyond charmed. Someone had spent a lot of time at the beach watching sandpipers. It was pure magic and so deserving of the Academy Award!
That it was. So much love in those five minutes. Have a nice weekend. :O)
Yes! And the world needs love~ <3
