Welcome to my little piece of heaven. Beautiful isn’t it? Makes you just want to sit down on the nearest cove and bury your feet in the sand to feel the breeze on your face, the smell of the salt air filling up your senses and making all the wrong’s in one’s world completely right once again.
Watching few people walking the beach for exercise or romance yet sitting on the side lines and smiling ~ for once allowing your mind to wander and remember ~ the pleasures and antics of one’s youth, how can one not smile over such issues? How time flies by isn’t it ~ one’s youth seems so long ago and more than a distant memory, yet while sitting on a beach hearing nothing but the crashing of the waves as the tide comes in ~ your mind working in many different directions of one’s life. Youth doesn’t seem that far out of reach!
The beach has always been my solitude, peace of mind, can right any wrong and make life enjoyable once again. Rather it is lying on the beach baking myself or sitting on a hill just watching people walk by and the sunset allowing your mind to wander where you don’t allow it to follow during your day-to-day activities. The ocean seems out of reach, solitude is only a dream, yet somehow, once again, you find that much needed solitude and calgon didn’t have anything to do with it :smile.
All it took was the washing of the waves, the seagulls flying above you, the sun setting just like the most enjoyable things in life, out of reach and within a few hours out of sight and mind until the sunset takes the same position many years down the road!
Hope you enjoyed my little piece of heaven!!!! Have a great nite!!!
Me and the wife are worried our ship won't come in unless we live closer to a harbor. Wish we were!
My mom grew up on an island off the Eastern Shore of Virginia. During the summer, I grew up there too. Me and my grandmother would wake up before everyone else, eat breakfast at a little restaurant on the way, then walk on the beach. For an old gal, she could walk. It was a special time for us, but my mom eventually got pissed that we'd sneak off without her (and my sister).
Galveston will have to do for now. I've got a business trip to Texas City (ugh), so all three of us are going to have a mini-family vacation. It ain't really the ocean, but at least the water – and the air – is salty and inviting. :-)
Ahhh... that photo and your description are so inviting, after digging my toes in the sand with you and attempting to sniff the briney air I think I should soon retire to bed and listen to the sound of the waves lapping up on the shore (hoping for dreams of a beach since there is none outside my windows.:( )
Nice little picture. All you who yearn....."Come to Jamaica and feel alright!" (There, I've done my little bit for the Jamaica Tourist Board today.) :-)
On the rare chances we get to visit the east Florida coast, Fred and I make it a point to walk the edge of the water before calling it a night. The breeze off the water, the sound of the waves rushing in and slipping back out, even the occcasional crab scuttling away from us make such a tranquil, serene setting that I long to live near water. Please note...I said "near" not "on" the water. *sigh* I may be a coastal person yet. I wonder if we have nine lives, like cats. If so....I've only used up two or three of mine.
Yeah, nice picture... Takes you away, doesn't it. When I look at that picture, (and the one I linked to) I think of the weekend I spent at Grand Lido Braco in Trelawney. Sweet. Irie all-inclusive hotel.
As tiny as I made the photo ~ it does not give it justice I'm afraid Mad darlin' ~ it was taken in South Carolina on a beach called Hilton Head.......
I think I'm gonna have to go spend Friday and Sat of this week @ the beach!!... It's so peaceful, you've really captured it here :)
