and
"I GOT NOTHING"
new
~~~~~
my creativity level sank this week
even though
the comments about my photos last week
kept me floating on air for days and days
~~~
"thank you"
EVERYONE
for the kind and wonderful words you showered me with
~~~
so this week
with the self timer not on and my camera in it's bag
I went through my archives and found this picture
which I'm sure I've used before
but
completely shows an emotion I wanted to share
~~~
this is me at the beach
in my favorite spot
seaside
florida
with a cold wave washing up my back
and
I'm happy
~~
actually
more than happy
~~~~~
ecstatic~delirious~carefree~euphoric~blissful~lighthearted~overjoyed~thrilled
yep
something exactly like that
~~
so
like a handful of wild flowers
go ahead
pick one for yourself
and
have a wednesday filled with just a little bit more happiness than you had intended

{and yes...of course...I did a little processing/editing on my photo}
Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteThe cold water you could maybe keep but a little seaside fun in the sunshine would be great!
I love this! And, it made me smile really big on a cold (again) gray (again) day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday to you too!!! I would love to be looking at an ocean today!
ReplyDeleteI love your photo, the joy is exuding from you. With a smile like that I doubt there was much editing to do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture- wish I was there and not in the cold, wet, rain- yet again! Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you for sharing the joy of this one ! How perfect a moment captured for ever - so cool !
ReplyDeleteI hope that today has moments of that joy for you and all of us.
Happy Wednesday !
i feel the same way, oceans, lakes, streams, rivers, gulfs, it doesn't matter. being near, on or in the water, joyful.
ReplyDeleteLook at you, splashing in the sea!! You wear all that happiness well, Beth. Totally suits you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!!
I agree with HOLLY, can't wait until I can stand in front of a cold wave...great picture too!!!!
ReplyDeleteIn Maryland, we went from 32 degrees to 89 degrees and back to 60 degrees....it's cold and gray and a big splash would do me good....
SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!! I'm talking this is the case of a picture speaking 1,000 words. I want a copy, can I? Can I?
ReplyDeleteI love seaside!!! great shot
ReplyDeleteit makes ME happy seeing this happy photo of you, happiness is contagious!!! i hope you and your camera are off somewhere this afternoon capturing more magic? i want to get out and take photos, but it's so cold here today, and raining! yesterday hot & sunny...today it feels like a good day to sleep... :)
ReplyDeletexoxoxo
That is a great photo of you beth... you DO look so happy, it's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAs for lack of inspiration/motivation in the photograph department, I know it well. While I seem to be buying a lot of cameras lately, I don't seem to have the time nor the inclination to take many photos heheh.
Peace
Carol
it is new to me...nice shot...was it cold?
ReplyDeletetake a shot of your pup & join the parade1
Such a cute shot! I love the expression on your face. And, that sky is so blue! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly how I pictures you when you were at the ocean last winter. What a happy-making picture.
ReplyDeletei can just feel that cold splash! takes me right to the beach ~ oh, i love the ocean so, but the lake is the next best thing and its only 3 weeks away! there's a happy thought for today! xoxx
ReplyDeletethis is poetry in motion. it truly is!
ReplyDeleteyour words about settling in and travelling and moving linger in my mind each day. so thank you, i will enjoy the measure of joy that is waiting to be had during this day!
This is wonderful! It makes me long for a hot summer day and a cool body of water to wash away the heat.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone should have a picture of themselves in complete bliss...a moment when they were truly truly happy. A picture they can seek solace in when the difficult days set in.
I don't have a picture like this....not yet. But I think I will have very soon.
;)
love, LOVE Seaside....it is a magical place1 and your photo expresses the feeling one can get when visiting there! blissful and lighthearted!
ReplyDeletePure joy. That's what I see here!
ReplyDeleteyay for Florida! yay for the beach! yay for smiling! yay for this picture!
