Did I Show You This?????? BZZZZZ.

Beautiful vacation pics.

One week on Northern California Coast.

 Beautiful sunsets....

 

Cabin on the beach....

(we stayed in a cabin, but not this one.)  =)

But this is what I really wanted to show you.

A wonderful treasure my sweet fella found.

Can you see it better now??

Yes, it is a paper wasps nest!!!

The bees were all gone.....

so it came home with us.

 Look at the details in this side that was broken open.

 That is layers and layers of 'paper', the bees make.

They gather fibers from dead wood and plant stems, 

which they mix with saliva, and use to construct water-resistant

nests made of gray or brown papery material. 

This nest is about 12" long and 8" across.

Absolute amazing!!!!

Just wanted to share some of God's wonderful creation.

Ornament Sweetness

 Hey everyone.

Happy Saturday!

I just had to show you what my friend Julie has been up to.

Cute, cute little oranments.

These are two of my favorites, but she has all kinds 

of cuteness going on over at her Saltbox Treasures.

And, she has a great etsy shop with the same name.

Hope you will go visit, and tell her Hi from me.

Pink Saturday Starfish

 Pretty pink flowers from our vacation.

 Below is the underbelly of a starfish eating.

If it might bother you, please do not scroll down.

We were on a pier and some kids were fishing.

They had something so heavy on their line it was going to break their pole.

They had a huge starfish on the line!!

Dad to the rescue. Got it up out of the water,

and high enough up to net it.

 

They gently dropped it on the pier.

Can you see the little fish (bait) in it's mouth??

  

They got it out, and then gently tossed the 

starfish back in the water, and it swam off.

This starfish was a foot wide, and had twenty tentacles!!!

And it was heavy!!!

Another simple little adventure we enjoyed on our vacation.
