Great pics....they exude tranquility!

Positive indeed, Judy. Thank you for the positive thoughts and the serene photos.

I also like your quote below:

"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."

Here's mine:

Looking for Bait....

A good photo of a net caster always makes me think of this:

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe---
Sailed on a river of crystal light,
Into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three.
"We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we!"
Said Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

The old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew.
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in that beautiful sea---
"Now cast your nets wherever you wish---
Never afeard are we";
So cried the stars to the fishermen three:
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam---
Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home;
'T was all so pretty a sail it seemed
As if it could not be,
And some folks thought 't was a dream they 'd dreamed
Of sailing that beautiful sea---
But I shall name you the fishermen three:
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee one's trundle-bed.
So shut your eyes while mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock in the misty sea,
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three:
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

It was a favorite lullaby.... my children loved it in spite of my singing abilities

I'm so glad to see the estuary being the estuary again, Judy.
And of course I especially like that reed grass canal, the aquatic equivalent of the tree tunnel. Thank you so very much.

And thank you also, Paula, for reminding me of the poem my mom said by my bed every night for ever so many years. I feel all tucked in now.

....who was it sayin' we don't have nice threads on nomads....

Nena

This is a delightful Thread!

Thanks for the pictures and the poem.

Don't worry.

Thanks everyone
It certainly starts my day on the right foot to walk by these wetlands.
I think that these photos are living proof that there are a lot of really great places in Los Cabos....it is not all Cabo Wabo. As with anything, it is what you make of it.


Paula
I have had that darned tune in my mind since I read your post....put me to sleep last night! Hope it doesnt keep me awake tonight

I knew that there was one missing.
This looks like a Dennis Porter painting to me.
I couldnt believe it when the guide whipped out his umbrella and continued down the beach.

Very nice... High Five!
