| From Topsail, April 2011 |
The blue of the Carolina sky behind this wave in every stage of dissolving into the sands of North Topsail Beach is my favorite blue in the world. I took this photo because I was following the pelican in search of his breakfast and wondering what he would do next. I think the answer was "try again." I love getting up for this because I love the light on the spray and foam, and I love the soft patina of the wave itself as the sun rises and rises and rises. Some days there's just nothing better than getting out of bed and being on the beach. Roll on, June 25....

So beautiful! You're right, be up while we still can! Nothing better!
ReplyDeleteIt's majestic and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThere are few sights in the world more beautiful than this and I never get enough of watching the waves breaking. For someone who grew up in the middle of Texas, I do have an unusual passion for open water -- not lakes or even rivers, but the beauty you've captured so perfectly here. Enjoy your day, Sandy! Happy SWF!

Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy Skywatch, enjoy your weekend!
Sandy, you and my sister and husband are all beach people! Me, I am of the mountains, the forest and the desert! But I do love the ocean also and this photo to me, with all it's wild, turbulent waves feels like the past week I have just lived through! I feel like I have been tumbled and tossed in that surf, but it is nice to see that calm, steady blue in the background just waiting for the waves to abate!
ReplyDeleteoh SANDY! this week I visited Falkenberg in the South of Swedish coast and I heard the waves...
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing
So beautiful! It makes me think of the Gabriele D'Annunzio's sparkling poem "L'onda".
ReplyDeleteAw. I feel for you. June 25th will be here soon. You'll be with your love.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
