Where The Sea And The Sky Embrace.


Down through the field, through the field of maize....oh how I love to gaze....Down through the bay, on a summer's day, where little boats rest and wait for the crest.... that's just over there....there to the west.  If you click to enlarge on this tranquil scene, you, my friend, will know what I mean.


And thus, there they wait, wait for the waters of yonder sea.


And the tide rolls in.  Some are free.  Some are yet to be.


And through the leaves, beyond the sea, there is a magical place, for you,  for me.


Let your thoughts drift away.....drift through the green....drift through the sand and take my hand....come with me to that magical place....where the sea and the sky embrace....

    Beautifully said. I could almost feel the sea breeze on my face.

    Thanks for the moment

    There really is something special and magical about areas where the tide comes and goes. Beautiful.

    Hi Gary; I don't know why but I feel like skipping. Hmmmm. Great pictures. Looks hot and lazy. Gotta love that salt air though, eh?

    Hi Bert,
    And nothing like the sea breeze on your face as you race across the sands and fetch the stick :)
    Thank you.

    Hi Heather,
    Skipping stones, perhaps? As you find that perfect stone to skip and skip, across a rippled sea....
    Thank you :)

    I don't know what was more beautiful, the pictures or the words but, put together, they make a song.

    Very kind of you to say. And, my friend, there is sweet music in your words.
    Thank you.

    Hello Gary:
    What a marvellous place to escape to on a Sunday morning, or indeed, at any time in our view!

    We have a great fondness for the Pembrokeshire coastline, where the land just falls down to the sea, and used to visit quite often when we lived in Herefordshire. The sea is just so endlessly fascinating in all its moods, although we must confess to liking it best when really rough and the weather bitterly cold!!

    That's the one thing I miss living on a lake, yes it's beautiful and tranquil, but there's no tide. Ah, lovely photos, Gary. Thanks for showing parts of the world I may never get to see otherwise.

    Absolutely beautiful. I'll come back here to escape again. Thanks Gary.

    These are amazing photos and the words accompanying them did take me to the magical place where the sea meets the sky. Wonderfully written, Gary and thank you for sharing!

    Lovely scene. It's somehow endlessly appealing to see beached boats, and to watch the sea's rising tide making them waterborne again. I see you're labeling this as Wales. Are you vacationing there, and if so, lucky fellow!

    You and Charlie, take good care

    Hello Jane and Lance,
    Indeed, any time is a good time to be at such a lovely place. Whether for real on through the vision in our mind.
    It is a wondrous place. I felt a sense of calmness when I was there. And, I can relate to going there when the weather is bitterly cold. Perhaps I shall go back there on a cold winter's day.
    Thank you for sharing your experiences. May you have a peaceful and positive day.
    With respect and good wishes, your way, Gary

    Hi Joylene,
    I have some inspiring memories of camping beside a lake near Seventy Mile House. No tide but, my goodness, what a visual delight as the moon cast an eerie shadow on rippled waters.
    Glad you liked the photos. My pleasure in sharing with you a part of the world you have not seen.
    Hope you had a peaceful weekend.
    In kindness, Gary

    Hi Susan,
    Thank you and I love your added thoughts. The photos in this posting and the previous posting, are from early July when I spent a few days with some very dear friends who recently moved to Cardigan, Wales.
    I was and am, a lucky fellow :)
    Take very good care of yourself, Gary

    Dear Gary,
    Ah, another post full of beautiful pictures and a nice bit of rhyming verse to go with them.
    Personally, I'm a little bit scared of the sea, and am not a very good swimmer. So, if you ever see me out amidst the waves as you look on from the shore, I'll definitley be, in the words of Stevie Smith's poem, "not waving, but drowning".
    A very beautiful posting, though, Gary.
    With Very Best Wishes,
    David.

    Hi Gary .. I love those photos - brings back my memories of our Cornish creeks .. gorgeous ...

    Thanks .. just to be able to ramble amongst the bracken, the grass topped rocky outlets, down the steep stone strewed path to the shore .. and then the amble along the dry sand, into the damp tidal areas, and the odd paddle .. or dash back out to avoid the incoming tide as it seeps towards us.

    Great - loved it .. Hilary

    Dear David,
    Thank you for such a kind observation. I suppose you have noted my rather twee way of formulating my last two postings. I've had this urge to try dabbling in a bit of poetry.
    And, my friend, to use one of my own quotes, "...if you were drowning, some would throw you an anchor. Whilst I would throw you a life jacket..."
    With Very Best Wishes,
    Gary

    Hi Hilary,
    Thanks for your nice words in regards to the photos. And yes, it reminds me of some similar views I've seen in Cornwall.
    What a wonderful description you have noted and I have experienced such moments along the shores around Cardigan.
    Thank you, Hilary.
    Here's hoping we have some more pleasant weather.
    In kindness, Gary

    Hi Pearl,
    How are things in Minnesota? How's your cat?
    Well then, my much loved and adored comic genius type blogger friend, guess you could always compromise, go to the Sahara desert, pretend it's a beach. And remember, any water you think you see, will just be a mirage, or maybe an oasis....
    Thanks Pearl and may you have a most peaceful day.
    With respect and kind wishes, your way, Gary :)

      Hi Leslie,

      It's such a peaceful location and the ambience within the words tried to capture the soothing thoughts I had as the waves lapped the shore.

      May you soon see the ocean. Thank you for visiting this archived posting and may 2013 bring you much joy.

      In kindness and beach dreams, your way,
