Sunday Safari - On the sea and by the shore

Lindsey Carr, An Oiled Scarlet Ibis

thanks to My Love for you is a Stampede of Horses 

Like everybody, for the past weeks I've been watching anguished and heartbroken

the horrible unfolding of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster.

Today's post is dedicated to all sea birds, shore birds and waders,

may they continue to thrive in spite of human greed and foolishness!
