Two days at a house on a beach
soaking up the sounds and rhythm of the waves
Walking barefoot in sand and water
Marvelling at Mother Nature's artwork
Finding lines of stitch and....
....weathered holes
Marvelling at grey on grey textures
Discovering two rocks so different from the rest
Wondering why barnacles have started to grow on seaweed
Imagining the waves on stormy nights
carving their images on smooth rocks and ....
....pounding down to create seams and crevices
Thank you to Diane and Harold who gifted me this time
and
thank you to the golden who sat by my side and wanted so much to be petted.
Thank you to so many of you who loved the Rusty Pups
You raised us up with your beautiful words of sympathy.
And thank you Miranda for your beautiful rusty gifts
I will indeed wear them and think of my pups.
I hope you didn't try to take any of those big rocks home! They are beautiful.

ReplyDeletei would have wanted to make crayon rubbings on some of those, and then probably got the paper all wet by a wave wanting to help.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful place to help in some small way to heal a wounded heart. So much inspiration for creativity in those surroundings.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures - there is nothing so calming as the sound of water. xx
