how long does it take
to create
something like sand
each tiny piece
sparkling with life
and illusion
each piece
part of a larger whole
constantly sculpting
and recreating itself
That is a good question! Your pictures are great, too 🙂
Thanks Meg! I hope you’re having a great summer.
deep thoughts! Love it.
Thanks Char! I’m really enjoying your book – just haven’t had enough time for reading lately but can’t wait to find out how it all turns out.
Glad you’re liking it. And don’t worry about reading time. Hopefully you’re having lots of summer fun!
Beautiful:)
Thank you – it’s fun to think about sand!
An excellent question, and great photographs to frame it. 🙂
Thanks! Lots of sand to contemplate around here. Just think that no matter how long it takes for our books to get published, at least it won’t be billions of years.
Oh, now I must really get to a beach. Sadly, that’s tough to do in Ohio. 🙂
There are some nice ones in Michigan – every once in a while I’ll put a Lake Michigan picture up since it looks so much like the ocean. Your author’s photo post was really funny – thanks for the laugh!
Thanks. Glad you liked it. 🙂
Nature sculpts the beach better than we ever could! Thanks for sharing the words and pictures!
I agree 🙂
Love it! I do enjoy really examining the tiny things in life, and finding wonder in them. I recall lying face down on the lawn for a while, and there is a huge amount of life going on in even a square inch which we never usually notice – just like your observations on sand.
Have you seen that book with the beautiful photographs of individual sand grains? They are amazing!
Hi Kasia! I haven’t heard of that book but it sounds great. I’ll have to look for it. That’s funny – I’ve examined the lawn like that too – just not in a long time!
Very IMPRESS-IVE! LOVE IT! ~Blessings Deborah
Beautiful thoughts, beautiful photos. I look forward to following your blog!
Thank you – same here!
Beautiful photography and thought provoking words, Sheila! xo
Thanks Lauren – but you’re the real thought provoker here. 🙂
You’re welcome and thanks for the complement, but I often wish I were more thought provoking! 🙂
lovely lovely poem….and such a good question! One that causes us to think, ponder, wonder about those tiny, sparkly, soft, silky pieces of sand we so casually walk on every summer.
Great post….and awesome images of a place I hold dear in my heart!
Thanks so much Judy! Lots of sand here to think about. I’m glad this place is special to you too. It’s funny that we have these places in common since I also feel that way about MI.
Sand between my toes- love it!
Me too 🙂
Oh Sheila, your last photo is superb ! And beautiful poem !
Thank you – the last photo is of Gayhead on Martha’s Vineyard. It’s pretty dramatic to see in real life if you get the chance.
Forever, and how cool is that?
We do live in an amazing world, that’s for sure.
That is a good question! Your pictures are great, too 🙂
