Ocean Senses

 

Cliff and I spent a couple of hours on the beach, today.

All but one of my ocean senses were invoked.

 

Sight:

I watched pelicans dive bombing....trying to catch fish. I watched as the waves rolled in and left again. I watched the seagulls soar just above the surf.

I saw how blue everything looked and I couldn't get enough. 

 

Sound:

I listened to the waves gently crashing on shore. I listened to the sounds of the seagulls. And, I listened to nearby children romping in the waves and their mother calling them in. 

 

Touch:

I felt the cool, slightly damp sand beneath my feet. I felt the warmth of the sun and then later, the cool ocean breeze.

 

Smell:

The smell of salty air reminded me to just breathe.

Seaside Sunday

One of the loveliest places I know is the South Carolina Coast. 
Starting today, I will be posting pictures of the coast and surrounding areas in a series called Seaside Sunday. As is typical of winter pictures, these take on somewhat of a subdued appearance.
As seasons change, the lighting changes; no more or no less as often as the tides. Hope you enjoy the series.

Where there are palms

and seagulls, relaxing is key.

There are boats

and brown pelicans, sitings are free.

Here families hang out at the creeks

or by the sea.
