Thoughts of the sea..

Tonight, my mind wandered to the sea. I just love the sea. There are a few places I go to when I need to think, reflect or just be. One of them is woodlands.. and the other is near the sea. Sometimes when I'm lying in bed or in the bath, I pretend that the sound of the wind which often rustles the trees around our cottage is not air flowing over leaves.. but is the sound of the waves washing over pebbles on a stony beach. I will lie there and visualise our cottage being near the beach... the water a little choppy and sea birds flying around outside the windows. A couple of years ago, (on our honeymoon) we went to Mudeford armed with our cameras and spent 5 intensive days shooting at different locations. It was heaven.. no matter which way we turned, the ocean surrounded us. Here are a few pictures I took of that special week in September 2008. Durdle Dor Durdle Dor Pulpit Rock at Portland Bill, Dorset. We plan to live by the sea one day... and I just can't wait. I am determined to find a place where I can see the sea from our windows, can walk my dogs on the beach and won't ever moan about cleaning salt from the windows. Till then, frequent sea-breaks are on the agenda. Unless I win the lottery - and I'll be off!
