Gifts from the Sea by calm

Gifts from the Sea

Love the soft colors and textures of shells gathered from many walks along the beach over the years. I look forward to more of those walks in 2013. I find solitude as I walk along the shore, listening to the waves crash, the smell of salt in the air, watching the ever-changing movement of the water. And I am reminded of the walks and talks I had with my Dad at the beach. My parents and some friends bought a place at the beach about 20 years ago... we still vacation there. And whenever I am there, the good memories flood my being and I am at peace.

Stuck indoors again today, hoping this medicine is going to kick in. But the weather wasn't good, and indoors wasn't a bad place to be!
What a beautiful collection... lovely tones.

@judithg I live about 400 miles inland, but we usually make 2-4 trips a year over to the coast. Love to visit the ocean, but I am a mountain girl at heart! My guys fish, so I have plenty of time to walk the beach!

What a beautiful collection! I'd love to be able to just drive to the beach that easily. I'm like you. I love the mountains AND the ocean! You've got the best of both worlds!
