A beautiful post and a really charming picture, Sandy.
About Lourdes, this year is the 150th Anniversary of the Apparitions. The young Bernadette Soubirous met (saw and spoke with) the Virgin Mary 18 times at Massabielle Grotto, from February to July 1858. The Virgin Mary appeared as a marvellous girl about sixteen years old, dressed in white and with a shining rosary on her arm. Since the first apparition the Virgin Mary smiled to Bernadette and there was immediatly a great friendship between them.

I'll tell more about Lourdes.

There isn't anything that makes me feel more at peace than an truly gterat shot of snad, seagrass, sandpipers and the ocean,. This is a lovely photo. Needs no words at all to speak to me.

I could however use a good proof reader if you know of one. What the heck was that last post saying, anyway. I can only hope that you'll interpret with kindness.

Jim said...

Hi Sandy, I like your boat. It must be out of gas to have been rowed ashore, LOL.
Happy WW!
..
I don't know what started the Lourdes thing, but Mrs. Jim and I spent a nice morning there one time. We got in a lot of walking.

eastcoastlife said...

I was thinking, the boat has a motor, it probably sped ashore. hehe... me and my weird thoughts. ish.

Ryanne said...

Again you have such a beautiful shot at the beach. I love the boat in the foreground, but also the waves coming in behind. Simply gorgeous!

Napaboaniya said...

Nice peaceful shot of the beach and the boat on shore. Would be a lovely day to go out to sea on that boat too! :)
Happy WW Tuesday Sandy!

Great shot. Those little squares of color are fantastic.

ettey said...

that picture looks so peaceful! :)

Mojo said...

Still hanging out at Topsail or did the trip just supply you with enough photos to keep you going for months? The NC coast can do that for you...
There's a serenity in this shot sitting comfortably next to solitude. Nice job.

ellen b said...

What a beautiful photo Sandy! It's taking me away...

Ebb Tide said...

A lovely and serene setting of the boat. I remember that song about Michael rowing the boat ashore. Just wondering where is he on the photo?

Marilyn said...

That's a nice picture. I bet that boat's a little hard to row from there.

Naomi said...

"Row row row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream" - That's what sprung into my head as soon as I saw that little boat. Lovely photo as always Sandy.

Deborah Godin said...

There's beaches (like my little lakeside patch) and then there's THE BEACH. This is the real deal. I think I need to take a vacation...in the meantime, thanks for this windy sunny fragrant moment!

Luke Wiley said...

Looks like a great boat for fishing. very nice!

Carver said...

Although it's a scene I've seen on the beach many times, it's like seeing it new for the first time through your eyes. Wonderful shot. You are such a gifted photographer.

WilStop said...

You really had an awesome entry Sandy.. Congrats... Have a nice day!

catsynth said...

Beautiful stretch of beach. I do sometimes miss living next to the ocean.

The boat up on the sand is an interesting touch - it's amusing to thing that it's just supposed to stay there, and one can sit on the boat on land...

Jan Parrish said...

This would look nice over a mantle. Great shot.

Vixen said...

I am sure you had plenty of "artistic" response to this pictures. But I am barely close to being an beginner. But I wanted to say I loved this one. The way the boat almost creates the frame from the inside. Especially with the plants leaning in the wind.

Desert Songbird said...

I'm truly loving all of your beach photos.

ZJ said...

That's beautiful - reminds me of one of the Hallmark cards :) The weather looks good for boating, don't you think so?

julie said...

What a beautiful photo! With the heavy rains we are experiencing today, that is very much a welcome sight :)

tigerfish said...

Row Row Row your boat, gently down the stream
Merrily Merrily Merrily Merrily, life is but a dream....

There's just something about a beach...

Beautiful shot Sandy.

Kerri said...

Great shot Sandy! I'm lovin' your beach pics!!

Julia Smith said...

I love that row of grasses - I think you said they were sea oats? I like the way they repeat the motion of the waves in the background, and create a clear foreground/background.

Munchkin Mommy said...

that's just lovely. i'll stay on the shore though. i'm not such a big fan of small boats on such a huge body of water. :D

happy WW!

Sassy Mama Bear said...

Cute title for a beautiful WW shot....just a few things where are the oars and didn't the sand make a mess out of the motor? :)
Juts joking. This is a site I would not see often in WI. Mine is up at The Cafe.

Sandi McBride said...

Made me think of "Michael Row the boat ashore"..I loved it...hope you are well Sandy, been thinking about you!
hugs
Sandi

San said...

The geometry of the boat, especially those little rectilinear colors, juxtaposed against the asymmetry of nature makes for such a comfortable feel--man in his element.

mousey said...

wonderful place I can feel the wind blowing my hairs!

ChrisC and JonJ said...

Being a beach person,I absolutely love that picture!

Nap Warden said...

Great shot...looks like a postcard!

The Fitness Diva said...

I just got a flashback of being in P Town, Massachusetts with my ex 4 years ago!
We had so much fun on the beach, on the artist's strip, and in the sand dunes. He took me way out into the ocean on this tiny little boat...
I thought we were both gonna die! ;)

B Boys Mom said...

This picture would go really nice in my living room! I love it! Great shot!
