I remain as amazed by this question as this little toddler.
There is this wonder of birds, and children.
You want them to stay with you, but if they did, it wouldn’t be the same.
We are home now in sunny Southern California.
I still have more of Iceland to share,
but thought you might want a break from fire and ice,
to soak up a bit of sun and surf.
We still, desperately need rain, but like the song says, ‘you can’t always get what you want.’
Cheers to you from home sweet home~

Yes, I’m toddling around….. in love!
You toddle so freaking well! Love you Resa.
Very wise. We want the bird to stay and the child to remain a toddler but oh what we would miss in the growing up and the changes.
I know what you mean about rain. We finally got a little after 3 months dry. I think they said 111 days without rain. Could be a record for Portland but you are usually dry. I wish you rain. Welcome back home.
I wish you everything good that is possible to wish for, because you deserve it, and because I am very happy to know you.
Thank you so much, Cindy. Your words warm my heart like you can’t even imagine.

Love the photos!
Thank you & so glad you do!

Such a sweet encounter between bird and boy.
Yes. Innocence personified. Wonderful to hear from you Mandy.
I hope you’ve got your rain by now, but like the song says, ‘it never rains in southern California’ 🙂
It’s true, and unlike the song it hasn’t poured in years.
I often ask the same question when birding or observing other wildlife. 😉 The views from SOCAL look beautiful.
Questions with no answers are the best questions.
The pure joy of a child discovering something new! Few things provide more moments than the ocean. I still remember my first visits as a youngster, just a wee bit north up around Watsonville working south to Morrow Bay. –Curt
Yep. I grew up at the beach and was born next to it, as were my kids. It makes us forever beach bums and happy about that.
The thought of being a beach bum has incredible appeal, Cindy. Maybe I’ll make that my next career. 🙂
What fun action shots. (sand designs, expressions, bird feathers – all show up so well)
Landscape/seascape lovely, but that kid’s face – childhood wins!
Children rule. We mess them up turning them into adults!
Welcome home Cindy. Beautiful little boy. 🙂
Thanks my friend & cheers to you <3
sei herzlich gegrüßt und hab Freude an diesem Tag.
Vielen dank mein lieber Freund!
Torrey Pines Lodge… I couldn’t possibly be more intrigued! The views of the CA coast always take my breath away. Lovely shots, Cindy. La Jolla (sighs) I visited there once upon a time. While the circumstance couldn’t have been more horrid, I was and still am struck by the beauty and charm of the place. (And silly me… I thought you were based in Oregon. I just can’t keep up with everyone.) Hummingbird hugs to you and everyone at the Holler.
I was born and raised in La Jolla, and we did closely consider moving to Oregon, so you are intuitively spot on, which is no surprise. La Jolla is way too congested and developed now, but it was extremely charming back in the day. Hugs back to you Teagan & cheers too~
Your work is always splendid, Cindy. You’ve captured the wonder and magic of being a toddler.
It takes someone who is comfortable with wonder and magic to see this, someone just like you!
Ok. Now I’m beaming. 🙂
