Caption this...

Today's mission,
should you choose to accept it,
is to step into the photo...
or witness from the sidelines.

Will you caption it?
If a caption isn't enough...
will you share the story
it inspires?

Country Wings in Phoenix said...

Hi Sweetie...
Immediately the following came to mind:

Oh Daddy, can we put him back out to sea? Will he be okay? He is so beautiful, just like from the books Mommy reads to me. Sammy the Starfish. Hurry Daddy throw him back out to sea. He'll die if he stays here on shore.

Yep, a precious Daughter and her Daddy have found a beautiful little starfish on the shore. She wants to make sure he gets back into the Ocean waters. I love this photo.

Many thanks for the beautiful share. Country hugs, Sherry

Daddy says: You see how they hide in the sand? See that little hole and the bubbles there? Thats where your little friend is hiding now.

michelle said...

Be very careful not to disturb the beautiful creature for he is living his life just as we are ours. You can observe but but do not interrupt for the ocean will take care of him and give him what he needs.

"Looking for seashells with Daddy"

Great photo!

Jane said...

Watch how these little guys wiggle back down into the sand... They are called "coquinas". When the waves hit the sand, the coquinas are pulled from their hiding places. As soon as the water goes out, they wiggle back down, burying themselves. See how fast they move?

Love the photo...it reminds me of the many lessons my husband and I shared with our sons...
Hugs,
Jane

What IS sea glass, Daddy?

"Create Beauty" said...

I love your 'Sea Inspired' blog, your photos are beautiful, as are your words.

Thank you for your comment on my blog... sigh ...you also had an Afghan Hound years ago? ... the memories of their sweet faces never leave us, those big brown eyes and the bounce in their flowing prance! We had two before these, and oh how we love them all,
and miss those which are no longer with us.

We go to the beach with them once or twice a year, and oh how they would love to be able to run free! We can't chance it though, as who knows how far they would run with so long a beach on which to be to be free.

They too, are Drawn to the Sea.

Thanks for the beauty you share here,

~ Violet

This was the first post I read this morning. I was so touched by what Sherry, Seanymph, Michelle and Jane commented that tears of joy came streaming out. I'm always so happy when I read of the respect that others have for our sea creatures. I tried to leave my comment then, but seems blogger wanted me to wait.

I'm back to say, I couldn't have said it better than they did. What blessings they and you are to our precious oceans.

Hugs

Daddy's Little Girl.

I love how the little girl is holding her hands. She has been telling her daddy about something and describing it with her hands.
Wonderful picture.!

Love of the Sea said...

What you do is you admire them and then you put them back in the sea.

Sand in the toes...sometimes you just can't get it out (nor would need too!)

Leigha said...

It's okay honey. It's not gross - it's a sea cucumber.
He he.

Love your blog. I thought I'd look around for inspiration for a den I'm slowly but surely turning into what I call our beach room.

The caption for your lovely picture...

Love washed ashore.

I just discovered your lovely blog and have signed up as a follower. I've just put the finished touches on my new blog ‘Coastal Style’ It will have lots of inspiration on beach houses, resortwear, summer food, travel and anything ‘beachy’. I had a lot of fun putting it together so maybe you would like to check it out if you have a spare minute.
