    I like the ost cards - the beach is almost austere, the sand plain and the rocks cold. Yet, to me the ebb and gentle tides give it a truly quiet and comforting solace. The sea seems to be of two minds sometimes - rough and unforgiving or, like these views, a quiet and unassuming beauty. All the pics are so noce...happy Easter to you and Muse!

    Carol, you are such a busy girl! I always find so much inspiration when I visit your beautiful blog. The willow haiku is after my own heart this week, as is that image of limb shadows on the sand. Hope you have a beautiful Easter Sunday!

    Isn't that funny. I'm just reading your haiku today and two days ago I posted my weds haiku with the post title of The Future Here and Now. This must be in the ethers - the future is now! I guess that's why I don't want to wait any longer - do it Now, don't wait until... until...
    Always enjoy looking at your photos!
