Mar8

the sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever. – jacques yves cousteau

Posted on March 8, 2015 by beth

and so

we went to the sea

and it was

everything

and more

moving sun

calm waters

boats afloat

seals playing

fish tacos and ice cream

on the beach

and

friends

and

stories

and

water

and

shore

alive

with color

and

changing light

laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.
– victor hugo

Beautiful poem and photos, Beth. I love beach scenes, but you’ll rarely find me there … and I live only 15 miles from the beach. I prefer the coolness of the woods and mountain springs. 😉
