I love this beautiful scene….. Sand, Sea and Sky, three of my favourite things. The golden sand is so pretty and I love the incoming wave with just a hint of aquamarine blue in this wonderful golden light.

gives me pause, going to the ocean, be it lake or river, but ocean the most
is always like a spiritual release, i can feel the stresses “go out to sea” for sure.
i often see birds and even dogs that find themselves entranced just the same,
sitting there, watching, breathing it in, as if the water is speaking to them….
beautiful ♥t
Rachel Stickney replied

Thank you very much for your lovely comments and the fave, Tonja! Sorry for the belated reply. The ocean is mesmerizing, that’s for sure. I’d love to look out my window and see it everyday. :-)
