Smell the Sea
Feel the Sky
Let your Soul and Spirit

Some folk execute it with words, that come alive the moment you turn that first page of their book.
While others share it via sound effects to make you gasp in delight as you wait for their next slice of dialogue.
More than a few express it by capturing a moment in time with the click of a shutter.
They are a visual storyteller.

I love your photos, Suzanne! They definitely tell a story. Isn’t it interesting how black and white photos tell a different story than full color? #MLSTL

These are stunning images, Suzanne. Really enjoyed them. Yes, they probably ought to be framed on your walls! I sometimes wish I lived closer to a beach; maybe in my next lifetime. 😉

Thanks very much Eilene. Though with our unpredictable weather perhaps living by the ocean is not a good idea.

Beautiful photos, Suzanne. I think we humans are drawn to bodies of water so by the seaside is a wonderful place to be. #MLSTL

Cheers Natalie and you are so right. Perhaps it is the calming effect of water that we crave?

I love all the different moods in the pictures Suzanne. I think the black and white takes away the familiarity and helps us see with new eyes – both the calm and the turbulence.
Thanks for linking up with us at MLSTL and I’ve shared on my SM 🙂

Thanks Leanne and yes it was to portray the differing moods of the ocean. The west coast is always more moody than the east.

Very nice… and how wonderful to be able to enjoy nearly empty beaches!

Cheers Janis and yes we do have an abundance of coastline. Some beaches are packed during summer and a km down the road it will be reasonably empty. Enough to suit all who frequent the beaches. I personally love a deserted one especially if walking and talking with someone. When I was a teenager it would’ve been the crowded beaches 🙂
