Living near to the ocean as I do, it can be easy to forget its wonder and beauty; to take it for granted. The ocean has been a backdrop to almost all of my life. When I was a kid, my sister I and spent hours exploring the shore and the tide pools on our summer trips to Saturna Island. And as an adult, I think first of the beach as a destination for a walk with the dogs. I even lived on the ocean for a while in my 20s when I spent a couple of years living on a sailboat.
The thing about the ocean is that it's always there--and it's always different. I can't really picture a life without the ocean nearby.
Your photos are absolutely beautiful. While I don't get to the ocean often, when I do, it feels like home.

ReplyDeleteWhenever I am feeling low or let down, I imagine myself standing with my feet in the sea.
Greetings from a fellow A to Z blogger
I never lived by the coast until last year in November. Now I get to wake up with a view of the entire bay. So stunning. And like you said, every day is different.
ReplyDeleteI love it.

I absolutely could not agree more!
ReplyDelete"There is nothing more beautiful
ReplyDeletethan the way ocean refuses
to stop kissing the shoreline
no matter how many times it is sent away."
thank you for filling me with the beauty of the sea...
