Mellow Yellow Monday #16 
Tinges of yellow,
Molly is a ‘mellow’ lab …
Neighborhood ‘greeter’
loves to romp & play
with her canine furry friends
and, of course, with me.
Frequently the star
of my Cam’ra Critters posts …
on each of my blogs.
Ears, nose, eyes, hind legs
plus the tip of Molly’s tail …
illustrated here ;–)

Unexpectedly
I happened upon DOLPHINS
suspended on poles
(colorful against
blue skies) one day while driving …
I decided to
stop & snap photos
thinking they’d be fun to share.
Apparently they’ve
been there for a while
corner of Pacific Coast
Highway - 2nd Street …
Long Beach Marina.
How I missed them earlier
is a mystery.

“Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Looking at the sky
everyday and creating
collages to share
keeps me astonished
… as it changes constantly
causing me to smile
even though the clouds
don’t release much needed rain
here … while others cope
with deluges that
cause flooding and destruction …
’tis a puzzlement!
