the boats are beginning to leave the water. the harbour changes it's face for the seasons. each weather variation creating a mask of activity or lack thereof. we are heading into the still season. the deep bellies exposed as they balance motionless next to the water that eventually turns to ice. the masts removed and flattened like felled trees. i love to weave among these neighborhood giants. i look out and see the expanse of water meet the sky, a great spread of blue. and i wonder if the peace that settles so easily in my being is partially due to the halcyon vista of endless blue that i'm treated to each morning.

  1. Hello,

    Thanks so much for stopping by my blog for a visit and leaving a comment. I appreciate everyone who takes the time to leave a comment. You have a very lovely blog and I am going to add you to my blog roll and also become a follower.

    I see that you live in Canada. I was in Canada last year to visit a friend who lives in Victoria. I also noticed that you have an Etsy shop which I will pop over to visit after I read some of your posts.

    Again, thanks so much!

    Kris

  2. The still season... what a perfect expression. Isn't it wonderful how Mother Earth gives us a "Mirror to the Souls Deepest needs" - A time and season for all indeed. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! ;-)

  4. Hello Annette:
    There is nothing quite like living by the sea to nourish the soul. How fortunate you are to be surrounded by such beauty and to see the activities related to the water change with the seasons. We know that we should never tire of it.
