This is one of a series I took at Deerfield Beach, Florida, last December. The transient nature of the weather that day - set against the already unthinkable enormity of the ocean - reminded me how small and insignificant I felt as I stood there and tripped the shutter.
Strangely, that didn't bother me. I felt seriously at peace. I hope you do, too, after seeing this image.
Your turn: The first three words that come to mind as you see this are...
Beauty, Peace and Light.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous, Carmi! Michele sent me.
Gorgeous, God, Huge
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful photo. Michele didn't send me this time - just poking around a bit! It is supposed to be extremely in Boston today, too. Thank god my apartment has central air! Best of luck keeping cool.
Beautiful, Brilliant, Heaven

ReplyDelete(Gosh, my answer was really different from the others!! Must be current events...)
Here via Michele's weekend meet 'n greet!
I remember you! Your site is still filled with great writing. Happy weekend...and Michele sent me!
ReplyDeleteSerenity, Awe, and Tranquility
ReplyDeleteLove the photo. Oh, how I wish I lived by the beach. Michele sent me but I've dropped by on my own a few times. You have a very well written blog.
hi! michele sent me... but i was on my way anyway... to thank you for the kind words you left on my blog...
ReplyDeletethe first three words?
bliss, blessed and silence...
great photo...
1. breathtaking
ReplyDelete2. exhilerating
3. calming
I love storms, and this looks like the start of one.
Michele sent me; great photo!
The first three words? God is in... the first three words of "God is in his heaven, and all is right with the world."
ReplyDeleteGood luck staying cool. I suggest applying a very cold beverage container (can of soda, bottle of beer) to the back of the neck and inside of the wrists. Then drink the contents.
Hawaii
ReplyDeleteRaining
Can't go today...
Ok, so that was more like 5 words. But the ocean is calling out to me. *reaches for swimsuit*
rays of light
ReplyDeletewaiting for the storm
magnificent
Fantastic picture!
"wow" and "I want to go there" (or, strictly speaking, "wow" and "I want" - but I didn't think that would make as much sense!).
ReplyDeleteDuckie, Sally, beautiful
ReplyDeleteThat picture is really beautiful, Carmi, but I think I just said that!
Move. There. Now.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture, Carmi. I love the ocean. And by the way, Michelle sent me. Isn't she strange and unusual (in the best definitions of those words)?
Keep boat docked.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. I've been bouncing around via Michele. Thanks for dropping by.
Heaven, peaceful, amazing.
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me!
Heaven, serenity, hope
ReplyDeleteHello from Michele!
It IS hot,hot,hot here in Toronto too, I don't remember summers like this since I was a kid!
See if you can get your hands on a Lola...remember those?!
Peaceful, Relaxing, Blue-est!
ReplyDeleteOK, maybe blue-est isn't really a word, but that picture reminds me of bluer-than-blue. That would have used up all three words! Carmi, face it, 3 words just aren't enough... at least for me!
Michele sent me, and I'm glad she did. Looks like we share lots of the same blog buddies. Come on over when you get a chance. I'll be back soon!
angel, serenity, powerful
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me and hello! great blog!
"Whoa!"
ReplyDelete(This was involuntarily spoken out loud.)
"Stunning."
"He did it again."
sky, clouds, water, rocks
ReplyDeleteWas it suppose to be three words, I forgot!
Hi Carmi, Michele sent me, again.
I hope you are still having a nice weekend!
God
ReplyDeleteRain
California
Lovely photo!!
Thanks for visiting me today, I really enjoyed your comment!
Really nice...thanks. I'm putting our local newsletter together today and was looking for any summer poems I had to fill in. I could only find one. I guess I don't write much poetry in summer! Too hot to think straight? Michele told me to say hi.
ReplyDeleteSerenity, joy, home. That's beautiful, Carmi.
ReplyDeleteI'm here via Michele today, but you know I visit often.
Majesty,God ,Peace
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful pic ..
I always feel so insignificant standing on the beach looking out at the ocean but like you it is also very very peaceful ..
Great post :)
Have a great weekend !!
Beautiful picture... I love the clouds and the ocean (or Gulf) and you captured a wonderful moment!
ReplyDeleteI know I posted on this yesterday but i don't see my comment so I will say. God created it!

Three words: Heaven on Earth.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, thanks for the kind words back at Poop'D Culture. Although, you might have given my sense of humour a bit of a swelled head.
Breathtaking, vast, breezy.
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me. :0)

ReplyDeletegood, nice, like.
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me, but I have been here before!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Heaven, Grandma.
(I always thought that when you saw light streaming out of the clouds, that was your deceased relatives shining light on you from heaven!)
What a great picture!
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me....this time. :)
Tammy: that is indeed composed and taken by me. My wife and I had gone to the beach while on vacation in Florida. Her parents were watching our kids, and we decided to head to the beach despite the threatening weather. The wind was strong, and the skies alternated between dark clouds and brilliant sun.
ReplyDeleteUltimately, the gray and the wind won out. But not before we had a lovely walk to the pier, and had captured a whole slew of memorable photos.
I will very occasionally run a picture from another source. But the vast majority of photos on my site are indeed mine. I post them because I love sharing the story behind the picture. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Breathtaking, God, Beauty
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo!
