Mostly Seashore Pictures for My March LIL Contribution
Today I'm posting my first March 2024 collection of pictures for LIL, the LMAC gallery of images. These pictures are grouped into four themes. The first theme features a dog that was swimming in Oyster Bay, New York. The temperature of the water was about 48 (Fahrenheit), quite chilly by my standards. The dog didn't mind. It frolicked in the water. I couldn't resist taking pictures and the dog's owners kindly obliged.
The second set of pictures features a stretch of shore next to the beach. The picture just above this paragraph was taken from that vantage. As the sign indicates (posted in the section), Area Closed. No swimming. No lifeguards. No Animals. This stretch of shore, although not groomed, had a special beauty. It looked almost like wetlands. The one small, white bench seemed completely out of place. I can imagine a solitary person taking in the untouched beauty of the surroundings.
The third set of pictures are from Curacao, where my daughter recently vacationed. She snapped these shots for me to post on Hive, if I wanted. A couple of them were featured this week in an Amazing Nature blog I wrote.
Finally, the last two pictures are of the family dog. The dog is quite old and sleeps a lot. We try to cushion the floor for her with several layers of rug. She is a wonderful dog.
Most of my readers are familiar with LIL, but in case you're not, I'll explain a little about it. LIL was started by @shaka and @quantumg. It is intended to be a repository of copyright-free images that anyone on Hive can use. Anyone on Hive can also contribute to the LIL gallery. Procedures for contributing and borrowing are explained here. LIL is an especially rich resource for those who participate in the LMAC Collage Contest. The contest begins anew every Thursday (except for vacation breaks). Check us out this week, and join the fun.
I hope you like my pictures and I hope they are useful to people who would like to borrow from LIL. There are over 13,000 images in the gallery right now, and it is growing all the time.
Thank you for reading my blog. Be well and peaceful.

Lovely images...

Wonder if and how ill use these pictures 😂😂
I'm glad to hear you'll be joining in the next round (maybe). I missed this round, although the template was provocative, I had no time. Next round for sure I'll put up a collage.
Thank you for appreciating my pictures, @seki1
Many different pictures shared into LIL well done!
Thank you! I hope relative peace prevails where you are. Here we are going into crazy election season...who knows what will happen.
Uproar once again as well with elections end of May, try hang onto sanity, have a great day.
Very nice beautiful pics, and the pictures are made in a way that can be used to make collage
The pictures are nice
Do you mean that we can use pictures from LIL gallery on our posts now?
Beautiful 😍
It's nice to know you have two dogs. I can understand why the family dog sleeps a lot. Old age knocking hard... Lol
Hello @iskawrites. Thank you for stopping by!
Actually, one of those dogs, the one at the beach, is not mine. I just thought it was a delightful animal. The second sleepy dog is doing that right now :))
After long wet messy winter, I think I'm also ready to join those two little lizards on the beach 🌞
😅
Me too!
Thanks for stopping by,@litguru.
Great photos, @agmoore! 👍 Looking at these beautiful dogs gives me good mood. :-)
Thanks for sharing them with us.
Thank you, @quantumg. Puts me in a good mood too! I think the dogs are therapeutic :)
Say hello to Frieda for me 🐕
These are really amazing pictures you shared here
I fell in love with that cute little dog on the beach. 😍 I think I'm going to see it a lot in the next collages.
A great contribution to the image gallery my friend! 👍
Isn't that dog precious. It was cold that day, but the dog didn't care. Everyone was enjoying its antics.
Thanks for stopping by, dear @mballesteros. I finally posted to LIL. It's been a while :) Hope you are well and not working too hard🌷
