O is for Ocean

2008-05-15T09:08:00.000-07:00

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

A Photo Challenge

2008-04-29T19:25:00.000-07:00

I found out about a new challenge from Melli. Seems there's going to be an alphabet challenge over at Quilly's Pacific Paradise. I take a lot of pictures, but don't ever remember to post them here. Hopefully, doing some of these photo challenges will help me remember to post things.

From Quilly's site:

Once again — here is my own project announcement: commencing May 1st and running 26 days, I will be doing Alphabet Photos. Day one is A. Day two is B. Day three is C. Etc. (Just what did you expect from a Pre-K teacher?!) I would love it if you would join me! Please, please say you will!
