Today feels like the beginning of life returning after a few challenges …. the stitches are out of my mouth, the sun is shining, the sea is fabulously blue.
Sunlight shone in the waves, colours dancing as the water lifted, rolled and fell,
a myriad shades of blue and green shifting in three dimensions
tumbling and splashing onto the shore, droplets like diamonds ricocheting from the frothy edge
and finally just a lacey rippling lattice of sunshine receding gently.

Incredibly beautiful shots……nice work!!!! And….Thank you for sharing it!
thanks kirsten, great to hear from you!
I love sea photos, yours make me want to jump in! Hope you fell 100% soon.
Whoops typo! Meant ‘….feel…’ 😄
thank you ronnie, almost back to normal, a few weeks holiday coming up and hoping the weather stays warm and clear … sunshine works miracles doesn’t it?
Christine, I was just in the process of doing my FB on “World Oceans Day” – there was so much in words and pictures about it, especially on National Geographic, with emphasis on clean-up and preservation! Then came your post with beautiful photos of your own ocean. I added your post to my FB. Hope you don’t mind!
Here’s gen’l info: June 8th brings about a day to change our thinking, perspective, and actions around the oceans: World Oceans Day. WOD is a UN marked day, celebrating the oceans that give us life. WOD is organized by the Ocean Project, an international collaboration of aquariums, zoos, conservation orgs, and museums.
perfect timing, thanks barb, glad you added my images 🙂
These look like paintings and capture exactly what I am often after. Can you let us in on what setting you have used on your fabulous camera?
hello sue, well i have to confess i am not very clever with the camera although i will be having a lesson this week … i just used Auto … but i have studied those waves for a long time and know what i want to capture … the light in the water … so happy you liked it!
Wow! Wonderful shots!
such a gorgeous winter day here madhu, the low angle of the sun helps 🙂
Whew! Now that is one refreshing, cool, perfect Summer post. I felt like diving in, enjoying the fun waves and feeling the playful waters beneath my feet. Have a great weekend.
you too island traveler 🙂
So glad you’re feeling really upbeat today, Christine. Lovely blue water shots. 😉
thanks ad, on the up and up!
Great to hear that you are feeling so much better, Christine – like you’ve been roiled in those waves and are now in that lively clear, calm water.
oooh yes, i like that analogy 🙂
Glad you are better and now generating more creative images, love the water colors, thanks for sharing, MJ
good health and good weather cant be beaten!
Lovely photos Christine and glad to hear you are feeling better. Dawne
thanks dawne, we are both back in form thank goodness, although S has a way to go to recover strength in his right leg …. good to hear from you 🙂
WOW! I could feel the rushing waters coming towards me. A wonderful cooling off image.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
blessings of the waters to you francine!
Ooooh I love these, especially number 3! Makes me want to go for a swim. 🙂
do you swim in the river there?
Magical, isn’t it, every time?
yes jo, the ocean works its magic so beautifully when the sun shines 🙂
Don’t you love the sound the ocean makes? It’s the world’s heartbeat.
beautiful thought susie, thank you for that 🙂
These water photos are wonderful, refreshing, beautiful . . . I just want to dive in and let the waves wash over me. You did a superb job of capturing the essence of water! 🙂
oooh, thank you cecilia, i hope you feel refreshed just seeing the images 🙂
Those are wonderful images and great color. I love the idea of a “lattice of sunshine.,” too.
I could stare at these photos all day…thanks!
Great work Christine I love it 🙂
thank you dear Jake 🙂
Beautiful images … They made me smile 🙂
Beautiful! Such clear clean water, the sight would help anyone heal.
A million shades of green and blue and it looks so inviting to swim. My favourite is the last with the dappled sunlight so sparkly and vibrant 🙂
Hmmmm…….seems your camera gives birth to poetry too. I’ve looked at the model you are fabulous with, and I have not yet seen the poetry button……must be coming from you. Beautiful! Also the sound of those wave are my most favorite sounds in the world. This is instant meditation for me.
thank you Sue, how are you? I am still struggling with illness, although today is a good one 🙂 makes me smile, your lovely comment!
Oh, and look how clear the water is! Magical morning walking on the beach – I can smell it, and hear it, and feel the sand between my toes – or maybe I can’t. Is is cold?
So glad to hear you’re feeling more like yourself again Christine. That’s great news:)
not so cold, when the sun is shining and the wind is quiet it is gorgeous, but of course we are wearing woolen vests or jackets, not just t-shirts and shorts! the water here is amazing, so so clear 🙂
That’s what caught my attention before anything, Christine – the water is like crystal – really beautiful.
