Images & Words - Serenity # 68





Welcome back to another week of Images & Words.Good to be back, it has been a very fulfilling but hectic summer here so far. My apologies for not being around much at all lately. Last week at this time I was back in my hometown of Erie PA. I got to walk along the beach one morning at 6 am to watch the sunrise and enjoy the beach before anyone else got there. This to me is what heaven must feel like such a serene and calming feeling where nothing else matters and all thoughts are clear. I was wishing I could bottle up those feeling and break them open when needed so I did with my camera. Please post a picture of that spot for you where you can sit and just vegetate from the rest of the world,the place your mind goes when it needs a break.I hope you enjoy my piece of Heaven here on Earth.

The Rules:

Each week we will post an original photo with words on it. The idea behind this group is to expand our minds through our photography.

Photos must be your own, but the words can be someone else's as long as credit is given after the words.

Your post can either be serious, or if you'd like comical, but never obscene .

Posts can either have one word on them,quotes, or full poems ... Your choice.

All posts are to be done on your own site in a blog form with a link back to it being left here.

New topics will be posted on Sundays.

Posts can be made through Saturday.

One post per person only please.

  8. I chose to depart from photography and to post a bit of primitive computer art. I think you will agree that the scene is quite serene.

  9. Gorgeous photo! Makes me homesick, although I lived on the other coast.

    I will try to be back later to post mine, but I've had intermittent internet problems this morning.

  15. Great idea Joel and great photo.

    The beach, the dunes... (Lake Michigan) is my home and all my long time friends know it's my sanctuary..

    they've seen enough of my photos, memories, writings, moments with her

    tonight I present a hawk seeking a moment in my yard of all places finding serenity

    If I'm missing in action... know I'll be back after the harvesting is over

  20. Dana those who live in the past are doomed to repeat it. That's why you're still virtually 12 years old as well as an 80 year old lady
