Monochrome is beautiful...

...never forget to tell yourself that on grey days.

Between the two seas the sea birds wing makes halt, wind-weary...

...while with lifting head he waits for breath...

O Darling Sun, that You and I...

...had to ourselves the whole wide sky.



quoting FA Scott

Puppet Strings of Rain...

...Oh clouds please send them east...

Mingles of grey and peach and pink...

...and deepest blue.

Sistine sky...

Do you see what I see?

Charcoal sky and a sea of black molasses...

...and honeycomb clouds there.

Brown sugar mornings...

...the golden leaves will soon fall.

Life is like the blackness of the sea...

...And no one will ever understand this mystery.

From Sea, Dreams & Fairytales. 

A Festival of Boats.

How lucky are we to see this lovely race pass by all the way from France? Thanks to Nancy for letting me know it was time to get out of bed. :)

Aim for heaven, and you get earth thrown in...

...but aim for earth, and you get neither.

quoting C.S.Lewis

Silver sea shine, a misty horizon and a tip of rain...

...but I can feel the sun behind it.  Will summer ever get her legs under her and come out to play?

Now the sun is sinking low ...

...children playin' know it's time to go


quoting Simon & Garfunkel

When He knew for certain only drowning men could see him...

He said all men shall be sailors then, until the sea can free them...

quoting Leonard Cohen

I could hear, in my silence, the calm evening sea...

Translation of Andrea Boccellis "Il Mare Calmo Dela Sera"

My heart is a little boat...

...it trusts in the sea.


quoting anne foster

Evening threatens with fire and water...

... a sky monster lurks above us.

Silver rain...

If I had a boat...

...I would take to the ocean.

The sea is calm tonight...

...the tide is full, the moon lies fair...
quoting Matthew Arnold
