It seems when we need an escape, we head off to the ocean.
A place where we can reconnect to after a long winter season.
The first trip is always the most meaningful to me.

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual. Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
Beautiful photos, I haven't been down to the sea for a long time and I miss it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kat - I feel you need to make plans to go and visit the ocean - I know you will enjoy it!
DeleteI haven't made it to the ocean yet this year...but I know what you mean about the first time of the season being special. Nice photos!..I recognize the NH shore. I love Portsmouth...can't wait to see all the flowers in bloom this summer at Prescott Park!
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing., Debbie --- Yes, It always means the kick off to Summer to me. I cannot wait for new photography opportunities to come, for yet another season - For both of us!
