Daniel: santa cruz & video

Posted by spots (Singapore, Singapore) on 21 January 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

We made a quick trip down to Santa Cruz after church today. The weather was nice and a walk along the Santa Cruz boardwalk yielded many nice pictures (this one included - not photoshopped, i promise!) and exciting moments. Exciting moments? Indeed - while just standing there staring at the waters, we witnessed a swarm of pelicans doing nosedives into the water to fish for prey, plus a school of seals swimming by, and not to mention a whole lot of seagulls. Watch this video if you don't believe me.

The trip was particularly instructive for Daniel, who at 17 months, is picking up new words every day. The other day he said "cousin", then a day later, "castle". Then when Husband was praying before dinner asking God to heal me from my sickness, Daniel picked up the word "Ruth", and started pointing at me! HAHA. Today, he learnt "waves" - yup, those santa cruz waves are really surf-friendly. But no surfers today - water too cold I sppose!
