O is for Ocean

This was taken a few weeks ago at St. Joe State Park...just out of Port St. Joe, Florida. It's about half an hour from our house and we went down for the day to try some fishing. I love the ocean.

And, I wanted to share a poem I wrote with y'all that expresses how I feel about the ocean in general (even though I wrote it about the Aran Islands in Ireland after a trip there).

In the distance twixt sea and sky
The Arans loom before my eye
Lonely and desolate they call to me,
"Return, restore your soul."
~~~Judy Thomas, May 1999
