What a difference a beach day makes..
even the worst day at the beach
is a welcome respite..
last week we were headed for
Sanibel Island..
and
the weather was lovely...
a bit breezy as usual, but gorgeous...
it was a decent walk thru the park
and over a bridge...
across the
Mangroves...
lots of trees..
gorgeous forest..
and sea grapes..
and then the
beach appears...
"The tides are in our veins."
Robinson Jeffers
and the sun sparkles..
of course the first thing you have
to do is drop all the luggage...
beach chairs and umbrella...
cooler and towels...
"Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war."
Loren Eiseley
and go down to the water...
putting feet in water..
jamming toes in sand..
and searching for shells...
the best shells are
UNDER
the sea weed of course...
That magical pull of the sea,
doesn't every one feel it..?
it is as if....
a long lost love is
whispering your name..
take off your shoes ..
come be with me...
