Just wondering

 Why?

Why do people feel compelled to build precarious driftwood shelters on the beach?

A lot of work, a bit of shade, a menagerie of wooden beasts.

Why do dogs so love cold water, even when it's so chilly that people on the beach are wearing winter coats?

It even looks cold.

But he's so happy!

And this. Why, just why?

Pole with rocks from the breakwater. Oyster Bay far shore, a good 10 minutes walk from anything. Underwater at high tide.

Life is so full of mysteries!

Me pregunto: ¿Porqué?

¿Porque nos sentimos con la necesidad de construir albergues de madera flotante en la playa? Mucho trabajo, una poca de sombra después, y figuras fantásticas para poblar los sueños.

¿Porqué a los perros les encanta echarse al agua helada, aun cuando hace tanto frío que la gente en la playa lleva abrigos de invierno? ¡Pero les hace tan felices!

¿Porqué esto? ¿Para qué? Un tronco viejo parado por medio de una pila de rocas traídas del rompeolas, a 10 minutos de caminata de cualquier cosa, y sumergido en agua cuando sube la marea.

La vida; ¡tan llena de misterios!

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
