Postcards and morsels - a short break

10/2/2014

 
Picture
Midday heat
hazy ambience over arid dunes
sweat beads on scorched skin
gossamer clouds waft across a vivid sky
painted perfect blue

gentle breeze kisses salty lips
white edged waves lap flawless golden sand

cool clear sea
wet
inviting
refreshing

wish you were here.

I wish I was there too. The sea looks so inviting. Now I have to guess where you might be- somewhere on the NSW coast.

Good morning Francesca, the sea is so beautiful and clear here.. That photograph was taken in far north Queensland, between Port Douglas and Cairns. We are in Noosa : )

Wishing I was there too! More snow on its way here in Colorado, which I don't mind until I see warm sandy beeches and beautiful prose. May your break bring refreshing to you, body and soul. :)

Lizzy
12/2/2014 06:44:49 am

Dear Judy, may the snow melt soon into a warm springtime for you. For the moment, we are luxuriating in the cool, clear seas with fish swimming at our toes! : )
