Entry Note To Self...scrolling down

I usually spend about two hours a day on my iPad and consider it one of my hobbies. I save a lot of things that might interest me. Sometimes wonder why I save so many. I think it is now an impossible task to review all of them. Guess you could call me a hoarder of stuff that interest me. It must be like a flea market of bits and parcels of information. The same goes for my photo collection. I find and take great photos all the time. I tend to collect between two and three thousand at a time. See, a hoarder of interesting photos also. I do try and keep them purged after use, but that in itself my friend is a daunting task in trying to decide if I really want to delete that beauty. I seem to become friends with all the things I save, and how can we just delete a friend?

My process of posting is like a craft room for thoughts and ideas. I tend to go for my saved documents first. That's where I store all the interesting thoughts and writings. I name my documents in a way I can find words that my mind is craving at that moment. Now here is the problem...I find these great words that sends fireworks off in my brain and It's one of those Humanity  saving thoughts that must be shared with the universe...Now! Not only have I found the words, I have an ole friend in my photos that resembles that thought in my mind...there in starts the second problem...how to find that friend among three thousand Ole friends. I usually start scrolling through my photos, thinking I know about the time period I saved that photo. Yea, right. More times than not, I usually find the photo scrolling back down. Sometimes on the second or third back down..:) I'm working on albums to make it a little easier, but if you have ever experienced that time consuming activity, you know why I'm am not finished. Anyway, I like taking a quick glance at my ole fiends each day.

It would be interesting to know the Best Practices In Posting...

Not half bad on a good day! TAOL

P.S. I saved this piece about four weeks ago and just found it...now to find a picture to match while scrolling down.


I was asked by a friend the other day what I worry about. A lot of worry thoughts pass through my mind. I usually don't find a good worry until I'm scrolling down. I found one the other day that I had forgotten about and it's my only worry I will share..."I worry about the approaching day my body will become stooped and I will be looking down most of the time...

Entry Note To Self...Matanza Inlet


Latitude, 29° 54" 32'. Longitude, -81° 17" 12'...

Towards the Matanza's seaward turn, the flow is slow, meandering. Wide tidal flat at the sea’s low tide support a spread of hungry birds. Silt brought down from inland fans the delta, between the reeds. Here crustaceans breed.

To the eyes of walkers on the white dunes, where only the lonely skylark nests among the sea oats and palmetto palms, the white sand flats must seem a bland expanse. But to Kingfisher the casts of sea fleas & crab are treasured finds. They stun their prey with single stabs.

Brown Pelicans bob in shallow water just beyond the mud. Full or not, they slowly move to their roost inland, where they will wait for the sea to ebb once more.

Sand Pipers abundant where the marsh grass grows. They all gather as the sun fades and the walkers watch nature and once again are amazed... 


I note these quietly in my field book at days end...
