Beautiful Sunday goes Beachside

in #beautifulsunday5 years ago (edited)


When you finally come into full bloom, you will live with your heart wide open, the fragrance of love and joy, sharing and caring drifting all the way through to the next part of the garden. Those words are written on the edges of my soul, spilling happiness all over my sense of well-being. Life is good and I cannot help but smile at the thought of it.

It was a starry, starry night, without the likes of Don Mclean, but, when I got up this morning, I would describe it as a beautiful day, the good-natured feel of summer still shining on us, enhanced by the laughter in the air. The shore was begging me to come. Surely you can hear it from there?

There are mornings that just seem "more" than others. If we can take in those precious moments and embrace them, just a little bit longer. Oh, yes! What a wonderful world; what a beautiful life.

And so, as I head out the door, I can see that it is the beginning of the end. I do believe you can also interpret it as the start of something new... once something has finished, another will take its place in a different way.

"By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer’s best of weather And autumn’s best of cheer" Helen Hunt Jackson

Tucked in nicely to the shore, this harbor serves as a safe haven for boats from the open water and a place to pull your boat in and fuel up or stop for dinner. Which is a very popular thing to do around here.

A flower. There must always be a flower. I dedicate this picture to #SundayPurple #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra who always colors my world. Every. Single. Day. And I thank her.

The beach is empty save for a few seagulls. their shrill cry lost in the wind. Head down, bringing it up until his beak is parallel with the sky. A definite communication of sorts.

We have it so good. We enjoy it so much. We express it so little. It can make your heart shine like the stars in the universe. The most beautiful feeling in the world.💖 Oh, the curvature of the beach, hugging the coast, littering her sand where the ebb and flow of the tide ends.

Today is a #BeautifulSunday by @Ace108, where we share our day in the most possibly beautiful way that we can. I find myself home at the end of the day, back out in the garden again, where the flowers and I will call it a day, a definitely #SublimeSunday in the making, by the Meister of my morning, @c0ff33a. I do love my @c0ff33 and he likes eclectic! A definite match made in my heaven.

And just like that, this post is done. The day is done and can we just start it all over again? I want to thank @ace108 and @c0ff33a for hosting these challenges and just so you know, even though it has been a day, I can guarantee that there is still a little sunshine left in my heart. Have a most fabulous rest of your day!

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Well you can never go far wrong being near the water. I am sure with a boat there you could go out and catch your dinner in no time. What a lovely area. I just love all things nautical! Have a great week

I agree with you! As long as there is water, life is good. Wait! As long as there is salt water, life is good. I know I have to be so specific with you. LOL

I don't even need a boat to catch my dinner here. I have to do is throw in a crab trap or stick in a line and dinner is served. I don't blame you one bit oh, there isn't anything in the world like being nautical. it's a good for what ails you.

Good morning to you! And I hope that you have a most wonderful day and a great week ahead!

You said beach side and I was expecting some bikini shot’s while you frolicked in the waves! Great close up of that Seagull, they normally get very close to me when I’m eating a tray of fish and chips - British sea side tradition lol. The seagulls will have the food straight out of the tray if you look the other way - it ends up a stare out! Some beautiful boats and flowers too, a colourful Sunday treat indeed!

Haha! I wish I had some sexy shots to show you, but, I see you already have a vivid imagination! I do love fish and chips, although the fish is done well here, they are an epic fail on the chips. Most places try to pass of French Fries, and they don't even make a second best.

I don't mind sharing with the seagulls as long as they don't poop on me. Make it a pigeon and I hear it is good luck!

Who wins the staring contest is my question? :)

Happy Sunday!!

Well thank you very much, Zeke! You really have a way of making a person feel good about themselves. It's a gift that you have.

Is for me, some people ask me it is possible to always be happy and I always wonder how it's possible to not. I wish you a most wonderful week ahead and keep on letting that beautiful heart shine!

On vacation again, Denise? Lovely to be out on the beach. 🏖🏝 Enjoy!

Hello! I'm not on vacation but went over to the shore this weekend, just for the day. I am not sure if anybody can go wrong spending a day with the sun and shine. It's good to see you and as always I wish you a wonderful week ahead!

!tip

I see. It's nice that you are residing near the beach. 😉 🏖 It's always good to be out in the sun, enjoying the freshest of sea breeze! 🌞 Is it summer now in your place?

I've been on Steemit almost a year. Where have you been in my life with your 'bursting at the seams' confidence and joy? It nearly got too much for me until I saw the photograph of the contrasting yellow flowers - one on its way out and the other fresh and bursting with colour. The comment is what stopped me and made me think................always a new beginning when something has finished.
I like that especially as a retiree.
Thank you for being so 'out there' and determined that this world is an exquisite place to be.
the poem at the end is 'awesome' to use a popular expression.
I live in Africa where it is always hurting somewhere.

I have been told location like that my happiness or implied happiness on my post does not seem real because nobody can be happy like that all the time. I'm not sure about that. I actually post what I feel and if I'm not feeling it, I probably won't post. LOL

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts and to be honest with you the poem at the end was properly credited and she happens to be from Africa. So, you are not wrong in your thoughts. Her name is Warsan Shire you choose a British writer poet and editor and teacher. She was born to Somali parents in Kenya. She won the inaugural Brunel African poetry prize in 2013. It is a very famous poem now especially for the very ending of it. I published the whole part of it because taken out of context it has a whole other meaning. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your words. I wish you a most wonderful week ahead!

What a lovely day to be at the harbor! Gentle sunshine upon your face caresses by the softly murmuring wind. How nice to live in a wonderful place full of carefree and loving around, overflowing in all directions making ripples on silvery water.

Is it was a wonderful day to be out on the water! Oh how well you know Mother Nature with her sunshine and the wind. It is a kind and gentle place to live and life seems so good when you spend the day out among the sunshine and nature. It does not hurt one bit to have a little bit of salt and sand. LOL

I hope you are having a most wonderful day and looking forward to the week ahead.

"When one door closes, another door opens" - the translation I've always gone by. Such a lovely beach; I wonder why it's so empty. Was it very early when you snapped the picture? Thank you for sharing your sublime Sunday with us!

Of course, that is a very popular translation. It is very lovely Beach and the reason it is empty is because there are so many other beaches that are much larger and have facilities on them. It actually was not early but was probably about 2 p.m. when I snapped the picture. I was out having a picnic in this nice stretch of peace and quiet. It kind of surprised me also that there is nobody there but it is a peninsula and so the actual beach covers the entire piece of land. When you have never ending Beach like that you can always find a spot. Thank you for stopping by and I wish you a most wonderful day.

Aha! A marina :) and a bench to sit on... hehee "trust me i'm telling the truth!"

Oh yes! I do love Marina and the beach and sun and salt play even pulled up a bench for you! Trust you? On the Liar's bench?

Never!! Lol!

Thank you for stopping by and say hello, even if you were sitting on the Liar's bench when you said it. I hope that you have a great day!

Thank you so much Angie! I agree with you that it is a beautiful world and as long as I have eyes I will never see it in any other way. I agree with you and the fact that the weather is just punctuation in my day and whether it is rainy or sunshiny, it matters not. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your lovely words, as always.

That looks lovely! I'd love to live my a harbour like that

I was born and raised on the water so seen second nature to have a harbor in your back yard oh, well almost anyway. The ocean is a wonderful place to live and has many Great Moments but she also is a very unforgiving mistress. I must say that I have always wanted to live in France and I believe that we could swap places for a month or so! Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

Reading your posts is always a marvelous way to start the day @dswigle. Such sweet words, and of course beautiful flowers :) Mr. Seagull is on to something, standing there with such strength, perhaps he's telling us fall is on the way! Fabulous!

Thank you so much! Boy you sure know how to make a girl's day don't you? He was a beautiful Sunday, sublimely so and as you already know, salt and sand is frequently the way to go. Yes, that's single sure did have something up his sleeve, Standing with the breeze running through his feathers. It was a glorious day but you can tell, despite the temperatures, but something has changed in the air. Could it be fall? Say It Isn't So! I don't think I'm quite ready for it yet! Thank you for stopping by and I wish you members of the bird house a wonderful week ahead.

And of course, I want to thank you for nominating me! 💖

You never cease to amaze me. Your #MondayRed flower is over the top beautiful. Is it a daisy?

You are so sweet and I want you to know that when you said Monday red I ran and looked because of course it was for Sunday purple! So thank you, because even though you were like the 15th person that commented oh, you were the only one who mentioned it. I posted it Sunday night late but it's not red and it wasn't Monday. Anyway it is not a daisy but it is in the daisy family.

I hope you have a most wonderful weekend and that you were looking forward to the week ahead.

!tip

I thought it was more on the purple side of red but then I thought it was my computer's screen coloring. My rules state there is no wrong day for a beautiful flower to be shown.

Oh!!! I love your rules!!! They are the best! :)

Spending the weekends on the beach is always a good idea! I just came from a 4-days-trip where I spent more time on the boat and on the water than on the ground, and it feels great! Have an amazing week ahead my dear!

Thank you @gabrielatravels! That sounds wonderful! I do love the ocean and was born and raised on it. Next month, I will be on a ship for a month, and yes! It is going to be fun.

Certainly right about that my friend i could not have asked for anymore...have a great Sunday my friend 😜

I had this Sunday wet from the rain and cold. There was no Internet and the opportunity to see the sun even in the picture .. I did not even go to the forest ...
Now I look at your photos and read your words ... I began to warm up. Life is getting better. Although it is still raining and cold outside the window.
Thank you my sun :-))
