What a great thought.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />Sophia,<br /><br />thank you so much for such a wonderful comment. Awareness is growing, i really hope so. thank you!<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />Mim,<br /><br />thank you very much. i'm hoping to join the local docent program, i think it will help spread the word.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />Lydia,<br /><br />thank you so much. I agree with you. The problem is areas are roped off, but the birds run outside of the ropes to feed at the water line. People and dogs can't help but pass through this corridor and that's when so many get stepped on (nests). The big problem is the birds and humans like the same kind type of beach.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />Sammi,<br />ah thank you sweetie!<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />Lolo,<br /><br />That is brilliant! You were a docent! that is what i want to do (it's a kind word for police i think). As soon as i stop working so much i will. We have a great program here.<br />People who take starfish make me cry. I'm so glad you stopped some.<br />Thank you so much for your kind words re the small painting. I emailed you :)<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />Lyn,<br /><br />thank you so much, i am so glad you enjoyed, it's always my pleasure.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />Marianne,<br /><br />thank you! it was as close as i could get with my lens, so they are a little hard to see.
