Mimbilize… and more of my words are born!
Defined, they mean things that make you feel
really good, things that make you go Zing, glad to be alive… mimbilizing & mimbilized!
Know what… my first Mimbilizations in here began back in 2008 and looks like I’m still at it too!

Here’s a few of my favorite recent pics right
out of the gate & into 2011… On a Wing & a Prayer
& a lovely photographed pair… my compliments
to you all & here’s to a great New Year!

……………………………………………
I found a fish, 30 cm’s long & lying on the sand, beached without enough water, a seagull close by, a person photographing it, I was with my dog, she was at first interested to catch the gull, then more interested in the fish, like I, on the beach today, January 5 & the fish was still alive! Maybe the seagull had dropped it after trying to swallow it; the photographer was more intent on filming it than saving it… it was in a bit of a dilemma & I thought I saw it’s gills moving, so, I reached down & sure enough, it was still alive, just too far from the shoreline, without enough water & a hungry gull waiting, an eager camera buff, a curious dog…
That was it, I took it in my hand, it wriggled, I raced for the sea’s edge, paused in small wave to let it get a feel for life again, then waded deeper, holding it safe in my hands, then I bent down and held it under, pointed it out to sea & I let it go! It paused; turned and looked at me… do fish smile? Another small shallow wave came over, I felt it bid me farewell, it turned and swam it did for deeper water and in the next wave it was gone.

So what’s this all mean? This is twice now in just one week, only 4 days ago, the same thing happened, with a smaller fish. I suppose I was in both the right places, both at the right times, each time, making a difference, in those 2 fish’s lives. Isn’t life fascinating at times!

Have a great New Year everyone!

Some days are just better sittin around in the Sun
