Sometimes taking a moment means focusing on nature and appreciating its splendor. We benefit from srtinging these moments in our day, as they uplift us. We loved how the starfish was drapped, and we wondered whether this creature was taking a moment to observe us.

Happy Sunday, Cheers Ron & Alexandra

I think that starfish was probably hanging on for dear life while the waves were crashing all around it!

Starfish are so cool! I think this one is checking you out, Alexandra. Hoping you won't take him away from his habitat. Lovely photo!

That is my favorite shot of the Speechless Sundays so far. Never seen a starfish actually grasping anything like that.

Jim,

Everything is possible. At that moment, low tide, no crashing, and I did not stay around to find out. I wish I knew what they are thinking, oh to be a Starfish Whisperer! LOL A

Toni,

Yes, he was checking me out, checking him out. Those little bumps look like seed pearls. I would not ever remove him from his habitat. I would hate to be removed from mine. A

Chris Ann,

Usually we find them clung to the reef, the same walls that the mussels and sponges grow on. Thanks for the kudo, we appreciate them. A

Hi Alexandra~

I love the way this Starfish looks like it is hugging the plant! They really do show expression to a degree.

Taking time to contemplate nature, life and my focus are all important components of balance for me!

Thanks for the series on The Luxury of Taking a Moment!

I think he's trying to get that little extra tan to show it off to his buddies. A healthy looking specimen that let's me know that your environment there is also. R & A, did you see his wave goodbye when you wandered away?

You are welcome, our fundamental belief is that luxury is plentiful and available to everyone...the irony is that many believe that luxury is expensive by definition. Thanks, A

Kevin,

Our waters are doing well around here. As on goes out towards the Channel Islands the water is clear and you can see quite a bit looking down. Our dolphins are thriving, the whales are checking in, and everyone around here is conscientious about the treasures we have in the ocean...I am sure he waved, LOL A

Ron & Alexandra,

Taking those moments are great pointers to better living. After I finish a deadline on my book on June 29th, I'm going to recalibrate many things about my life. Real Estate and writing has taken way too much of my time. Nice starfish... g
