We stumbled on the broken deck of a ship, cast far up on the sand and rocks. It was broken and smashed and yet still held its shape. Rusted iron hoops clung to the remnants of ropes long since rendered useless, and I swear that I saw the last traces of wet foot prints vanishing from the wood as I watched.
A message of love scratched into the stones, spoke of love broken but not smashed by distance and time. Abandoned and lost among the rocks, it still gleamed red and vibrant. We looked out across the waves, but no one came, and the wind whistled as it always has, across the ocean of time. We were alone among the debris of life, tossed up on some forgotten shore.

Just beautiful photos. Ah, I feel as if I am there on the beach with you! Julie
Julie that’s lovely to hear. You’re welcome along anytime 🙂
magical. 🙂
Thanks Janna, it did feel like an enchanted space that day, timeless and dreamy.
Beautiful post!
Very kind 🙂
Wonderful, evocative pictures and beautifully written!
Thank you for such a beautiful comment.
Beautiful post, Seonaid! Wonderful details. Love the colors and perspective of the last one.
Thanks so much Amy….it took me a few shots before I felt I’d captured the movement in that scene.
Lovely and poetic, words and pictures! I look forward to your posts, Seonaid. You manage to bring the past and present together with all the different human emotions, no easy feat:)
That’s really kind of you to say, and it’s lovely to hear that some one actually looks forward to my posts before they are even written 🙂
I hadn’t really thought about how I write, but what you say rings true in terms of how I see the world. Always with a foot in the past.
hi Seonaid,
your version of the heart topic
has something like a blues song attitude.

A blues song…very intriguing.
Your post on love is really engaging….
Thanks for the share 🙂
The heart is a vibrant I think as the day it was painted there.
Yes, vibrant indeed…I drew it onto the rock just before taking the photo…is that cheating a little 🙂
I love the color, the detail, and the perspective in your photos.
Charlie you are always so kind and generous with your comments. Thank you 🙂
Wow – beautiful shots – both the beach and the rotting planks of wood. And what a message among the debris – the love that lasts and keeps itself strong. Beautiful post.
Thanks Fi, I’m so glad you like the message and the photos. The strength and endurance of love continually amazes me 🙂
treasure…treasuring this
Thanks Liana…
Absolutely splendid! Images and words. Really wonderful!
Too kind…I’m blushing now 🙂 I find you’re own photos stunning, and can now recognize them in my reader.
You’re really getting dangerous with that camera! I especially like the very first image above … the angle works. And … hey … there’s the heart on the rock you posted and I asked about the other day. Beautiful words to accompany both. There’s something about the way you write, the particular combination of carefully chosen words you use, that relaxes me. I always seem to breath a heavy sigh when I’m done reading your stuff. Look … you’ve got influence! What’s next? D
Yeah, I also agree with that!!
Seonaid, you must have several hearts, just like they jump up in your posts.;)
Great.
I love this idea…multiple hearts would be very useful…and I’m definitely drawn to hearts as symbols 🙂 Keep watching and I’m certain you’ll see more….
What a delightful comment. I love the idea of being dangerous with my camera! Hopefully the more I shoot the better I get.
I’m also delighted to hear that you find my writing relaxing, keep those sighs coming! its amazing to think of the words I sit and compose here in Scotland can have a soothing effect all the way across the Atlantic. The wonders of blogging 🙂
Desolation … or hope?
Hope….I hope 🙂
I really enjoyed this.
Thanks, its good to hear when someone enjoys a post 🙂
Lovely post 🙂
Thank you 🙂
