My World Tuesday: Step Lightly

Topsail


Slowly, I am going through my Topsail Island photos and enjoying looks back at three beautiful weeks in the most wonderful place in my world. I have enough pictures to get me to Christmas, when I will return. Three weeks there was enough time to see time change, to become aware at the end of the day of how much lower the sun was than when we arrived. The light seemed to skitter across the wet sand like sea foam, temporary, evanescent, dreamy, lovely.

  2. The sea and light skittering across the beach just as the sandpipers do. A fun photo. It is migration now. You could see all sorts of shorebirds.

  16. "I have enough pictures to get me to Christmas" - isn't that the beauty of taking a holiday/vacay that we can sustain our photo-hungry blogs for months to come :D

    this is an awesome image.

    Happy new work week.
