MARTINIQUE BEACH ~ PEACE ON EARTH DAY!

Hola!Ciao!Hello! Kia Ora!

Our Peace and Joy 

are always reconfirmed 

when we visit 

Martinique Beach

This day was by chance!

We discovered the sunshine

the tempered breezes

the long beach

the shells

the expectant sea glass

the joy of my "SOPHIEDOODLE DADS"

as we ventured down the expanse.

The waves were so perfect
so long
so relentless with their spin-drift

from so many angles
the waves slowly grew and the winds
seized the spray
holding it
relinquishing it's hold
as it trailed down the beach

the sea gulls hovered the freshly deposited seaweed and kelp

while I lay sprawled in ecstasy
in the chocolate brown
camouflage mass

even though we didn't stay into the evening
I dreamed of the waves
as I thought they would be like
as the moonlight
captured the energy
of this space on the planet we love so much!

enjoy!
Happy Earth Day!

FOG ALARM ¸¸.•*¨*•

The fog has settled in

so come along

why don't you ~

ambling along my favourite paths

in my favourite park ~

with my 2 favourite guys

and their trusty cameras ~ 

sometimes can be dark and foreboding ~

but once we spend an hour 

walking the paths

we sometimes head for the streets ~~

where the colours are brighter and seem to pop ~

always paying attention to rules of the road
even if the fog horn
sounds in the background!!

and one last photo capture
of a cyclist waiting for a light change
in the fog (by Jim)!!

CROCUS GUARDING!!!!!!!

Our crocus have burst forth as the days get warmer
and sun spends more time thawing the garden.
This is our favourite time of the year
revival
rewakening
renewal
rejoicing

I will sit on guard because I know my duty
after nine years of roaming my garden.
(I apologize for the occasional blurriness!)

From blurriness comes a work of art!
Perhaps the beginnings of
a new rug
a watercolour
an oil painting
or
whatever the imagination conjures!
You decide!!!
