On the Water--the Pictures Tell it All

But that won't stop me from saying a few words!  LOL  I love water
whether it be the ocean, rain, a river, in the shower or in a glass. 
I  don't know if it is because my 'sign' is Pisces or not but water just
'does' something to and for me
! Since I moved to Gateway in 1999 The Point at the end of the property, jutting out in Karen's Bay, has given me unforgettable times of peace, at times had me gasping for breath and at other times just in awe of the world and life . Come and join me!

"WHAT IS SUCCESS?

TO LAUGH OFTEN AND MUCH;

tO WIN THE RESPECT OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE AND THE AFFECTION OF CHILDREN;

TO EARN THE APPRECIATION OF HONEST CRITICS AND ENDURE THE BETRAYAL OF FALSE FRIENDS;

TO APPRECIATE BEAUTY; TO FIND THE BEST IN OTHERS;

TO LEAVE THE WORLD A BIT BETTER, WHETHER BY A HEALTHY CHILD, A GARDEN PATCH

OR A REDEEMED SOCIAL CONDITION;

TO KNOW EVEN ONE LIFE BREATHED EASIER BECAUSE YOU HAVE LIVED;

THIS IS TO HAVE SUCCEEDED.

I love water too. There is a creek a block from my house. I like to walk by it. In the spring there are tadpoles. I saw a great blue heron there once. Exciting to be so close to such a big bird.

We have egret, herons and eagles always 'visiting' us

Okay, have you been keeping track of that house with yard lights on in the day time and what looked like a sunken boat?
comment by troutbend on Dec 4, 2011 8:12 PM ()
The boat is gone.

Nice. Not inviting, since we still don't have snow on the ground, but nice!

Don't need snow on the ground to enjoy it!!!

There is no question that you live in a beautiful part of the country.
Did you see the pictures I posted on my Facebook page of my office?
