Marianne’s Conejos Blanco post this month is a view from opposite directions …. something I do every now and then, especially when walking on the beach.
looking north
Early morning on the beach, pink light, no footprints. It looks heavenly doesn’t it? It was entrancing in every direction, one of those days I was glad I had the camera.
looking south
Just our footprints in this direction, but spare a glance for the clouds!
Would you like to hop across to visit two blogs I have been following recently? There is Lynn at bluebrightly who says “It’s a phenomenal world we live in. I deeply appreciate it, even on cranky days, and I invite you to wander through it with me.” Her current post is about Joshua Tree N.P., excellent photography and sparse poetic words to awaken your senses. Dive in!
Another photographer I love is Sheila of Imagery of Light. I am linking you to Pink and White Dream, a recent post that made my heart sing. Truly I hear music and feel incredibly stirred or lifted or calmed by her artistic work. Just images, a blog that makes no demands on the reader, but gives beauty in spades.

I love your interpretation Christine. off to check out those blogs.
let me know if you like them Jo!
Thanks…took a look at those two blogs….interesting perspectives with their photography.
so much creativity here in the blogosphere 🙂
What a paradise! Bit chilly for walks on the beach this morning though, isn’t it?
it was warmer again today, but big seas ripping the sand out, the whole beach changing shape ….
Nice… and as the poet T.S.Eliot wrote: “the way forward is the way back”! 🙂
love that thank Thomas 🙂
Glorious photos, Christine ! – and yes, I did notice the clouds. My late husband, a professional stillsman, adored clouds and what they offered him:-)
how lovely to think of him M-R, you can still see through his eyes!
Indeed. Well, he’s still alive, here inside me. 🙂
Awesome morning photos Christine 🙂
thanks Jake! the beach is so easy to photograph … not hard work like your fabulous animations 😉
Beautiful in every direction, Christine! I love the sky…and the footprints in the sand. 🙂
it was a glorious morning … not today, which was wildly sunny with huge waves!
I think this has to be one of my favourite places, an empty beach – any empty beach. And the early morning light and cool or late afternoon remnants of sun warmth and dying light makes the walk along a beach even more pleasant.
if we don’t meet in the city one day we can meet on a beach EllaDee!
That would be lovely 🙂
Lovely photos, Christine – I’ve often started to look behind me since I got more interested in photography – it’s amazing how lovely the views can be sometimes 🙂
I’ll go and have a look at your two links now ….. thanks for sharing!
I always try to remember to look in all directions, including up and down, there is so much to see with our eyes wide open. I like the tow blogs you linked 🙂
This is beautiful, it looks so serene and peaceful, especially with only the single line of footprints.
You have such a beautiful, flat beach – wonderful for swimming.
Great pic, Christine, especially the sky looking south. I’m also thinking of doing beach pics for this challenge, and went out to take some yesterday. 🙂
Thank you for a beautiful walk on the beach, Christine. 🙂
I love the palette of these photos, and the footsteps add a lovely comment on the theme.
What an appropriate challenge as we both embark on a trip to the other side of the world. Being with my daughter and our twins provokes a lot of memory, as we look back on two generations of childhood. Also a lot of anticipation, as we consider Maja and Janek’s future as Polish citizens and inhabitants of a techno-world, so different from my familiar one, in so many ways.
Beautiful, serene images, Christine. I also admired the lotus blossom in the header. Just lovely! 🙂
I do love my lotus flowers … it is a good signature for me 🙂
Oh, talk about zen….
the footprints… the clouds 🙂
