I was down on the beach by 8am this morning and had a wonderful walk with Freida. We were alone and the morning sunshine was awe inspiring. I tend to use such times for thinking . My exhibition is approaching and one of my categories is seascapes so I used the time this morning to do some planning!
Watch this space!
Meditate.
Live purely. Be quiet.
Do your work with mastery.
Like the moon, come out
from behind the clouds!

Beautiful photographs. So very tranquil. Bamburgh beach, near where I live, is a haven for dog walkers early in the morning. But unfortunately, some do gooders are petitioning to stop people walking their dogs on it. Hmm.

Oh how I wish I lived close to the sea, a morning walk on the beach would be my idea of heaven. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures and the quotes for reflection. Very inspiring!

ReplyDeleteI love that ' if you cannot be a poet be a poem' Denise - also I love that empty beach - lucky you to live so near to it.
ReplyDeleteWhere, incidentally is your exhibition - anywhere where I can come and see it?
Lovely stunning pics, I need a bit of thinking/kicking off the shoe time asap. It's been far too busy and stressy at work for me over the last 3 weeks. Lucky for me I got some hol time soon. These sea images are a good substitute, cheers
