Wordless Wednesday at the Fish Market

Thursday Travel Photo: Awase Fish Market

Another Great Place to Visit on a Hot Summer Day

 

 

 

When the Map It Okinawa Dude showed-up today I was taking my second nap.

I'm on my sleeping bag with the AC cranking out freezing wind and, he wants to go look at a fish market.

So, I humored him, grabbed the cameras and off we went to Awase, Okinawa.

As it turned out, it wasn't such a bad day.

The name of the place is, Payao Fish Market but, it's much more than that.

They have a restaurant inside.

You can walk around and look at all the fresh fish, stacked on ice.

Then, ask somebody, "Could you cook me this one?"  And, they will !

We'll be going back down that way, someday to visit again.

It's really a cool place. I'll probably eat there and do a TripAdvisor Review on them.

After I took a few dozen photos we headed back north.

That's because, I didn't want to leave my nap unfinished.

Meanwhile, I gathered some links to YouTube Videos, you can watch.

Children's Books and Wildlife Photography

Books for Children 

Writers of the world need to hear about this. Kids books is a 2.7 billion dollar industry.

We should stop worrying about making our blogs and websites fit little screens.

Kindle, Android, iPods, iPhones, Smart Phones and all that mobile stuff, Hah !

Little kids can't take those mobile devices in the bathtub.  Can they ?

 Children should have waterproof books with wildlife photos in them.

And, writers shouldn't have to make their websites responsive to those crazy gadgets.

Turn all that stuff off and spend some time teaching kids about nature and real life.

 Birds in the wild don't look at a monitor to find out where to eat.

They have to search for food, sneak up on it and grab some.

Sort of like those poor people who go on TV reality shows, only this is real.

While the kids are soaking and splashing in the tub, they could be learning.

The girl bird looks at the boy.

He has something stuck on his nose.

In bird-talk she probably says, "Let me get that Honey."

And, he lets her have it. 

If the kid asks you what it was, tell the truth.

 Just say, "I don't know, probably a bugger."

Children ask all sorts of questions.

They may want to know what kind of birds they were, too.

Just tell them after they get done drying everything, including the book,

"Go Google it"  !

If you are a writer, you might consider getting into the children's book business.

It could be a goldmine for you. Not me.  I have no imagination.
