Wordless Wednesday: White Horses Running

topsail

This was a morning that came with a big surf on Topsail Island. Still, this lone bird and I showed up--he for breakfast, and me for the time of day. Those waves were big and loud. It's a wonderful thing to hear nothing but the surf and to be pulled into it because it will have you. A lovely surrender.

I tell you, you and Mojo make Topsail sound like paradise and I must visit someday. :) Hope the lady didn't lose any of her munchkins.

Your photo looks like a painting and the light, the colors are breathtaking and, of course, I love the bird! I can understand why you love Topsail and I'd give anything to visit there. As for the woman -- well, I hope she doesn't lose any of the little ones! Hope your day has gone well, Sandy!

I laughed so much when I got to your "theory that she was going to stay on Topsail until she lost them all." I just cracked up.

I would love to be there. I'm feeling nostalgic for the ocean where I grew up.

So restful -- a real feast for the quieter senses after a long day. Well done!

I've never been to Top Sail but we've been to South Padre Island a bunch of times. The pounding surf is wonderful. Especially when you have it to yourself.

Such a delightful time of day. I can almost hear those waves crashing and smell the salt in the air.

Incredible shot of the waves, the brave little bird, the sun shimmering. I can almost feel the spray from the surf!

No Kiddin. Wow! So true.

George said...

This is a wonderful photo! I know what you mean about being on the beach with only the surf and perhaps a single bird.
Thanks for a great post.

Those look like some decent waves. I like the straight lines of the pier set against the curves of the ocean.

Zuzana said...

Beautiful!!! Love the title as it reminds me of a Guinness add, where the waves of a surf turn into white running horses.;)
