The ocean tells me
You're away, you're away.
The waves call to me
"Come play, come play."
And so I surrendered
my place in the sand
and forgot to remember
all that I planned.

Thanks for that. I can hear the waves and gulls, feel the breeze and salt. Is it really warm enough for swimming?
I love that poem, it suits me perfectly!
Thank you for sharing the poem and beach with us! Oh how I wish I was there right now.

I'd love to be at the ocean, walking barefoot in the sand. :)
What perfect words, I hear the beach calling me everyday and I'll probably answer this weekend! The sun is so warm today, I was tempted to forget about the housework, but alas, here I sit, waiting for the next laundry to go in.
Oh my, what a totally relaxing and lovely post. I really needed that today! Thank you!
Beautiful photos of the ocean and I loved looking at all the pirates below!
Beautiful shots Jane and I love the poem you illustrated with these...
I have my sandals off too. Ocean is calling always smiling and those sounds. I love the sea!

Oh, Yes! Yes! Yes!
Loved this post, Jane. I hear it calling my name, too, and I can't wait till we are through March! Yes!
Speaking of names, I called yours on my blog. I did a roll call of thank yous to you and to other bloggers who were so kind as to pass on blog awards last year. So your name is in the honor roll. Just wanted you to know!
XO,
Sheila :-)
I would love to be there right now!
Beautiful scenes and captures. One of my favorite views. Thank you for sharing.
A great outdoor post!
Have a nice day.
... to forget what I've planned, wonderful!!
wonderful images~
Such beautiful pictures and delightful poem! Perfect post :)
Ah, Jane...beautiful ocean/beach photos! I NEED beach! It's 5 degrees here in Michigan tonight - horrid. Spring cannot arrive fast enough for me. Sorry to be so late in visiting you for Outdoor Wednesday. Have a great weekend...Kathy
Hey Jane, just dropped in to say hi and to see what my fellow drummer mother has been up to. My drummer is still thumping away...Love the pics so peaceful, cheers Katherine
Hi Jane
Well.. i thought i had commented on this post last week.. glad i came again.. sorry about that...
these images and the wonderful words that accompany them are fabulous!! don't you just love the beach!! xxx Julie
Hi Jane,
Thanks for your comment, I ended up wearing flip flops all weekend because I was wearing pumps when I left and forgot to stick my regular shoes in my bag :)
Needless to say I didn't go for any walks outside!

That was beautiful....and the pictures?!!! Breathtaking.
You had asked about 'hints' for finding large seashells...around here, the winter months are the best time...and after a storm. That's when I have more luck finding the bigger ones.
Good luck.
Oh how I love the ocean. We live far away from the coast (in fact we are still buried in several blankets of snow.) We have relatives in NC so manage to get to the beach once a year.
My dining room paint Cajun Red is by Sherwin Williams. It was fun having you stop by today! :)

Love the shoes on the beach. Although just back from the beach, this post has made me want to return already!
How lovely, Jane! I am ready for a trip to the beach...but that will have to wait.:-( I scrolled down to get caught up...love your pirate themed party...so fun! Happy week!...hugs...Debbie
