In La Jolla California,

are busy-bee birds,

always searching,

for the finest seafood.

But, like all true foodies,

after a good meal,

they need a good siesta!

Cheers to you,

from the tiny, mighty Sanderlings~

Greetings from Dublin, IRE. Have a great St. Patrick’s Day!🍀🍀☘️☘️🍀🍀
Enjoy!!! Happy St Paddy’s Day! 🎊👪🇮🇪☘️🎉
This is your song for the day …
Elizabeth has a concert at St. Patrick’s Cathedral tonight. She’s having her sound check now. E has always had a fine voice. It must be the cathedral. All I can say is WOW.
Have a fine day, a fine evening.
So beautiful! Love the Celtic lilt.
Thank you. Elizabeth is getting to be scary good at this singing and music stuff. 😊🎵🎼🎹😊
I’m glad.
Wonderful captures, Cindy. Such endearing birds!
Thank you Eliza. They are QT’s! დ
They look really content with where they are. Lovely photos of these little birds!

Sanderlings have to be some of THE cutest birds around! 😍 Thank you for sharing them with us!
They are adorable aren’t they! Take good care my friend დ
Love these fast shore runners!
Smiling…. They are so much fun to watch.
Oh, iconic La Jolla! I spent many hours at the shores and cove areas as a native San Diegan. Gorgeous photography as usual, Cindy. The birds are amazing!
I can’t believe I got unfollowed from you yet again Terri. Makes me sad. So happy to see you again! დ
Adorables!
Yes they are! დ
So cute! Always enjoy your photography 🙂
Thank you დ
Suppose for some generous reward we could buy a ticket to hang around with you for a day in the big wide world, see more of all this wonder in person. Otherwise, this is much appreciated. Thanks Cindy.
While I do like pure nature, I find myself fond of those shots that show some gentle relationship of people within that nature. Feels more like home.
Yes. I hear you. For me, photography is an escape from a people driven world დ
Aren’t they lovely! You must have so much fun, Cindy, capturing so many beautiful creatures.
Yes! Thank you. I do. They are pure joy დ
Busy birds in a beautiful spot.
Grazie mille to all of you, two and four footers! დ
Lovely photos, Cindy. ❤️😊

beautiful photos Cindy
Thank you very much დ
We love seeing Sanderlings it has been a while for us seeing them as we seldom get out on the reef.
Wow. I would love to see them on your reef დ
I saw Sanderlings once or twice! They are very dear, and hard to stop watching.
Very true. They are tiny, mighty, busy, little birdies დ
I’m sure I’ve seen birds like this here on Vancouver Island. Will have to pay attention next time I’m on the right sort of beach.
Yes. Your amazingly stunning island has them. I know you will find them დ
simply splendid Cindy!
Love to you Linda დ
Their little legs are always so busy and move so fast! But who was faster! 📸🤔
Laughing…. I understand, based on the intensity of their movement, they would need to intensively nap. A lot! 😉
Beautiful photos, Cindy.
Thank you very much დ
My pleasure. 💞
Clck/tap twice and the close-up view means you actually step into the world of these quiet little birds
It is beyond wonderful isn’t it, to escape our human world and join their silent, graceful beauty. Take good care my friend დ
Sweet little birds and fabulous shots. Thank you, Cindy!
Looks like a beautiful time there. ❦
Love to you Resa დ

Those little shorebirds (all kinds of them) are so much fun to watch. Your photos turned out great, and clicking to enlarge them made me feel I was right there.
Smiling…. You make me happy I posted. Thank you. Sanderlings are happiness inducing birdies დ
Beautiful pictures, Cindy, and these little birds are adorable. I love how they all tuck their heads sort of straight back (there was a time when I was more elastic, too 😉). Happy St Pat’s. ☘️
Laughing…. Yes!! Happy St Paddy’s Lynette 🍀🇮🇪🤞🏼
Chickadees and Sanderlings…my two favorite tiny birds.
I fully understand why! დ
Wonderful photos. Just beautiful.

Thank you Michael & cheers დ
You’re most welcome, Cindy.
I love watching them scurry along the water’s edge.
Yes! They are so much fun to watch. I love it when they get bonked by waves, doesn’t phase them a bit დ
So beautiful.
Smiling… Thank you Vera დ
Sempre spettacolar, e bellissimi i tuoi articoli.
Cari saluti
La tua gentilezza è molto apprezzata. Grazie amico mio e stai bene დ
Lovely clear blue waters Cindy, even the birds get a reflection in their little pools 🤗😀❤️🙏
Thank you Mark. I think they were admiring their own reflections like little Narcissus’s! 😉
Wonderful pictures of these cute little birds! I watched them in Spain too, but they were running so fast that I could hardly take photos. Unfortunately, they were not taking a nap 😉.
Their speed is amazing isn’t it. It’s like they fly on their feet! დ
Another fine photo story
Thank you & Happy Sunday Derrick დ
