Dungeness Spit and Mt Baker
I love this gorgeous Mount Baker photo from Allan J Jones. I hope you take a moment to go by his blog for a peek at the beautiful photo collection he’s posted there.
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more …
Travel Quote
A beautiful travel quote and picture of Peñíscola, Spain from Travels Through My Lens. Please click the link above to see more of Tricia’s lovely photography.
When we left the Caribbean the temperature was about 30C (86F); here at home it’s 5C (41F), which is a rather significant difference but completely to be expected, of course.
Another big difference is that we’re now next to a lake, not an ocean, but I love how both bodies of water can exert themselves so strongly on our lives and consciousness, even down to their colour changes.
I very much like being close to large bodies of water (I was born next to and lived my early years near the Atlantic); I find them comforting and reassuring, even when they decide to whip up some good storms.
I find it interesting that M finds the same sense of comfort and reassurance in the mountains; he was born next to the Rockies. Maybe we all have a sort of “birth set point location” that stays with us all our lives and for which we can unconsciously yearn.
Happy Sunday.
The storm that passed a couple of days ago was quickly followed by another. I was awakened in the night to what sounded like a freight train outside my window, but turned out to be pounding rain and shrieking wind.
Earlier in the evening, I took a shot of an underlit tree with the rain pouring around it. With the addition of some soap an outside shower would have been completely possible!
On the beach, Poseidon and Triton were whipping up some oceanic discontent. We didn’t stay long and were happy to go inside before the worst came barrelling through!
Happy Monday.

A gorgeous photo of the Yorkshire chalk cliffs from Stuart Aken. Beautiful!
The storm that passed by us dropping a lot of rain and whipping up the wind has continued on out to sea. It has left a disturbed ocean, however.
This photo doesn’t really do them justice, but these waves were quite high.
The red do-not-swim warning flags were out everywhere, but lots of people were going in the water anyway. The waves coming up on the beach were definitely powerful enough to knock down children or anyone who’s a bit unsteady. We took a long walk on the beach but didn’t swim.
Happy Sunday.
Blue sky …
… and white and blue ocean waves flinking on nearby coral reefs …
… fine brown beach sand …
… such precious time in a precious place …
So fortunate.

A beautiful ocean/beach picture of Rossili in south Wales, courtesy of Stuart Aken. I hope you stop to visit his blog as he has many more gorgeous photos.
Much is made of the peacock tail, but their backs are brilliant, too.
More gorgeous blue and green.
Orchid fronds.
Green and blue anyone?
Have a good Sunday.
