Simple Pleasures II a poem by RestLeSsD
Simple pleasures abound
If one only stops to see.
A moment in time captured
A memory for you & me.
The salt spray from the ocean,
Cool breezes in our hair.
Cottony clouds billowing up,
We just can’t help but stare…
This island is our haven,
Pure beauty at its’ best.
The sand & the sea calls us here
Always a welcome guest.

On a walk on the beach I came across this catamaran just sitting there, calling to me. I had to photograph it.

Hello, I am Rhonda aka RestLeSsD & I am a graphic & web designer. My main media is Photoshop & Dreamweaver. I create 3D art & images using Fractals from Incendia & Apophysis. I use these in my creations formed in PS. I also use Picture Window Pro and Paint Shop Pro.
I am also a poet & I have been writing since I was about 10 years old. Since being here on the Bubble I have fulfilled my goal of illustrating my poetry & writing as well as writing new works…
