As usual, I woke before the others in the house
and decided to stroll down to the beach
to see the sunrise.
Along the way, little things caught my eye.
Patterns emerged. Some man made.
Some not.
Those were the best.
There were birds,
jellyfish,
shells,
tide marks,
stones,
footprints
and feet.
There were waves that caught me unawares
(and soaked my sweats up to my knees!).
And waves that gently caressed the shore.
I even saw a star
and found treasures to bring home.
How has your morning been?
Oh! Tomorrow is Roy G Biv time again. We're up to I = indigo. As indigo is a tricky color, feel free to interpret it as you choose (meaning that if you're like me and forget to search for indigo, blues of any sort are more than welcome). Enjoy!
Beautiful patterns - and the shells, what treasures!
ReplyDeleteAren't shells always a delight to find? There's something so primal and ancient about them.
DeleteWhat beauties you found on your early morning walk! And your treasures are my favourite kind. It sounds like such a wonderful time for the whole family.
ReplyDeleteThank you also for your comment about my bundle book - as for it being for sale. I sure it will be, but I have decided to keep my etsy store closed until into the fall.
Keep enjoying the beach and your summer!
PS. I will be joining in the INDIGO challenge tomorrow!
DeleteOh good! I'm glad you're joining us in searching for indigo! It's a tricky one, isn't it? I may just have to cull through my photos and re-post a few. Bad of me, I know, but...
DeleteI'll try to wait patiently for your etsy store to reopen. Your lovely book keeps whispering to me and drawing me back for yet another look, another conversation.
Enjoy!
What lovely photos and wonderful golden light of morning. Thank you for taking us on your journey and sharing your finds!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Cindi. Nice of you to join me.
DeleteJust wow. Drifty, dreamy beach mornings are the best!
ReplyDeleteYes. They certainly are the best. One week always seems a long time upon arrival, but ends up passing all too quickly. One of these years, I want 2 weeks...or a month perhaps. Now wouldn't that be lovely? Enjoy!
DeleteJ-beaches - such treasure troves for collectors and gatherers. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy - and yes collect. Go well. B
ReplyDeleteThe beach is full of hidden treasure, isn't it? Enjoy!
Deletethis was just what i needed this morning before i put myself in my car and head to cleveland! thanks, jennifer. (the jellyfish photo rocks!)
ReplyDeleteGood morning Velma! Glad to have been able to aid in beginning your day in a good way. Safe travels to Cleveland.
DeleteBig warm smile from me as I read this post. Felt like a touch of summer had washed over me, and a glorious beach walk - soul nourishing and restorative. Thanks Jennifer x
