When we made our last trip up north, my niece generously offered her "beach" house to us. Since we arrived a day early for my brother's wake, we walked down the street to the beach. I loved the clouds and the sky in this first photo. The horizon line is almost indistinguishable from the ocean. So calming and peaceful.
My niece really loves her beach house and puts some beachy accents wherever possible, even the shed. Love the red buoy against the grey.
Shells and star fish abound around the house as accent pieces. I liked the oval shape of the dish and the different shell textures in this shot.

That's a lovely sea and sky shot. Such scenes invite peace.
ReplyDeleteThe sea and sky photo is fabulous - all those shades of blue merging into each other. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/DncFP
ReplyDeleteI'm sure being in a calming place like that helped you with your grief.
ReplyDeleteI think grieving in a place this lovely and calm would help to heal any broken spirit.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful setting...I adore the "beachy" elements, too. Thanks for sharing; I can almost feel the sea breeze!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
I had to take a second look at the sea and the sky, on my first look I thought it was just the sky, silly me!
ReplyDeleteI love being by the ocean! I still have a collection of beach 'treasures' from our trips to the coast. Looking out over the water is so calming.
ReplyDeleteThe ocean is good for grief, I think. Calming and eternal. Those re really lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful calming scene for you. I'm sorry to hear of your brother's passing. Difficult times.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that there was such a sad reason for visiting, but it looks like a beautiful place, and the ocean photo is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love spending time at the beach. Peaceful and calming, as you said - just the sound of the waves and the smell of the salt air instantly relaxes me. Hope you enjoyed your trip.
