This weeks photo challenge got me thinking about what the sea really means to me, how does it make me feel… there are so many emotions the sea evokes. When I have been away from it for a while, I miss it, I feel it’s pull… it makes me feel calm, peaceful, able to breathe deeply… renewed, alive, invigorated and full of life’s possibilities.
The photo below was taken on a beach we had stumbled upon quite by accident (sometimes the best kind) whilst looking for a completely different one! The perfect afternoon turned into a glorious evening with an amazing sunset which I couldn’t capture because my camera battery died! Gutted and lesson learned!

Devon? (MM whistles innocently). Gorgeous picture- I love the sea too, but real sea like the one in your picture, not the puddle we have here in the Med.

It is most definitely Devon, how’d you guess!? 🙂 I love the Devon and Cornwall coast. I bet you’ve got some pretty nice puddles in your neck of the Med! 😉

Thank you so much! It is very peaceful… the rythmic sound of waves breaking on the sand is calming for the soul.

Lovely. I share your feelings. I was brought up by the sea but only realised how much it meant to me when I moved away.
