Music Monday - Maybe It's You

 Just a few days ago, I was meandering on this beach in the middle of Florida....

 The birds there were pretty spectacular. As was the sun, wind and water... The seaside always makes me think of this Carpenters song....

It was such a lovely visit. I'll post more pics if I get the chance...

Music Monday - Beyond the Sea (Retreat, Part II)

I spent the bulk of the retreat looking at, or walking along the water (an inlet of Puget Sound), so I am accompanying today's water-themed photos with this magically atmospheric version of "Beyond the Sea", sung by Celtic Woman:

This was our view of the Sound from our deck (tide going out)....

Entry to the beach (low tide) -

The neighboring cove (tide coming in...)

One of our many low-tide strolls along the rocky shore....

Exposed oyster bed (low low tide). Makes me start reciting 'The Walrus and the Carpenter"...

A sighting of the Olympics in the distance (tide coming back in) -

...and beautiful sunsets....

...every night....

...beyond the sea....
