Starfish And it’s Yellow Underside

Starfish and it's Yellow underside

Photo first posted here.

Yellow underside of a starfish. It really makes me wonder why sea creatures are so colorful despite the fact that they are mostly underwater. It turns out, according to an article that I read, that communication signals, mating, camouflage, territory and other factors are used for color information and fine spatial information to encode species identity.

And at the rate the ocean degradation is happening, these shallow water colorful sea creatures won’t have much protection from mostly humans who them more harm and damage. So please, put back these starfish and other sea creatures in the water if you are done taking their photos. As much as possible, leave them where they belong: to the sea.

Happy Life

Bertrand Russell said : ” A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphre of quiet that true joy dare live.”

We live in a city filled with noise and people. Quiet moments like these are treasured and remembered and kept closed to the heart.

Angry Sea

It seems that there is that connection between the sea and I. It doesn’t matter that I haven’t mastered the water and can not swim in it no matter how calm.

I feel free and feel so much joy it seems to bubble out from the bottom of my heart and seep through the deepest, darkest thoughts in my mind whenever I watch the waves and feel the ocean breeze caress my skin.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more. ~Lord Byron

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing – just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park? ~Ralph Marston

On Proposing for Marriage

Engagements are important events. For those who plan to propose to their love ones, the intention to settle down, the ring, the setting and proper timing are just some of the things to consider.

Whether one proposes under a blue moon, aboard a yacht during an on-board dinner date, or maybe during a televised show, giving your love one that ring one might have gotten from jewelry showcases from mfried.com or from mom’s mom, everything should be planned and thought of a hundred times over.

More than the monetary considerations (it is really expensive to get married these days), the emotional preparedness for a life of togetherness should be the sole concern. Remember, weddings are (just) ceremonies and marriage is a lifetime commitment.
