MORNING SEA VIEW----FROM THE TERRACE.

I know that at this time of year I  do a fair bit of complaining about the weather, so when a 'perfect' day happens literally out of the blue then ofcourse it would be so ungrateful of me not to acknowledge this .Yesterday was such a day!  A gentle south westerly, a  warming welcome rise in temperature and a really beautiful view from our terrace!
 On days like this the sea reflects the sky with an even more intense shade of blue.Centrally ahead lies St. Paul's Island, and all its mystery. There is a sense of infinite space and calm and this serenity seems to pervade the atmosphere. Despite a daily  work load hovering I feel the need to sit for a while drinking in the scene and all that it holds. -I just know that such moments are offering some special gift that I need to accept and relish.

Just  below us near the rock is a lovely  patch of green,  translucent and deep; little fish swim below, multi-coloured  from the jewels of sunlight that sparkle  on the surface .Certainly a beautiful  day!  

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
It's always ourself we find in the sea.

  1. Yesterday was the second warmest day in February on record - 24C. The warmest day was back in 1960 when it went up to 26C. It really was a lovely day yesterday..........the perfect day!
