The salty body of the sea
Rolls in endless restless waves
Pouring up from the ocean bed
She lays the soft foam of her hair on pillows of stone.

I love your photographs! Serenity and beauty!
Thank you so much, I’m delighted to hear this 🙂
Absolutely breathtaking!! I love catching up with your gorgeous photography and your beautiful words and imagination that complete them. 🙂
Thanks Janine, that’s lovely to hear. It’s always good to see your face pop up in my notifications 🙂
Beautiful, creamy sea 🙂 Well done, Seonaid!
Works so well together !
Beautiful photograph – I was wondering how you got that softness in the water over the rocks, but from other comment guess it is long (slow?) shutter speed. A bit special. One day I must look into these more esoteric ways of using the camera, if you can get such lovely effects.
What a lovely photo and poem. The sea looks so soft
love that last line, especially!
Which lends itself to which? The words lend themselves to the image … or is it the image lending itself to the words? I do not know. The synergy is what works here. Nice use of a slow shutter to capture the feeling you sought. D
Thanks David, for me it’s usually the image which comes first…..from an experience in nature….the experience and the image from the words.
To use the local vernacular (and I may have used this re: one of your posts before): Dang girl! Beauty!
What a great comment, and feel free to reuse it as often as you please 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it, I had fun playing around with the camera and some of the shots came out nicely for me…..many others were deleted!
Beautiful photo, powerful imagery. I loved the way you elevated the ocean into a mystical being.
Oh thank you, and I just can’t resist romanticising nature, the ocean, the sun …….so it goes on! She seemed sleepy when I visited on Tuesday afternoon 🙂
Ah – I wouldn’t call it ‘romanticising’ if your intention was to belittle what you do! Just think how our distant ancestors (and our so called ‘primitive cultures’ today) give meaning to their lives in a way that we (well so called ‘civilised’ societies) think is just plain silly because it’s not explainable or understood. Oh dear – rant over!
Long way what you do, continue! 🙂
Mama Ocean looking serene, I hope she comes back south soon.
I know, you guys have been seeing the rough side of her nature…..this afternoon was calm and peaceful up here on the East coast. I hope you are all surviving, and I’m certain she will show her soothing face again soon down in the south west.
So wonderfully descriptive, Seonaid, and perfectly illustrated. 🙂
Thank you, delighted you liked the post…..the words came from the walk along the waves and the images I caught 🙂
Lovely. That sea looks rather like silk.
The long shutter speed gives that silky look, but the low light was rather beautiful that afternoon….I have a few more shots to share 🙂
Mackenzie, this is beautiful. 🙂
Thanks Sharon, and all captured without a tripod!
‘resting her head on pillows of stone’ will stay with me Seonaid, so lyrical, she is an awesome lady, with so much to teach us 🙂
That’s very true, and each time I visit her she shares something new 🙂
Glad the words caught in your mind, they’ve been rolling round my head since Tuesday visit to the sea.
Ooh I love it! I really want a set of graduated filters to do some long exposures of flowing water.
You know I didn’t even use a filter for this shot, and in fact had even forgotten my tripod, so it’s a hand held shot which limited my settings! I was kicking myself as I can’t use my ND filter without a tripod, and I haven’t played with it nearly enough, but liked the way this shot turned out!
Well done you!! Not easy to get that effect without filters and tripod! You must have very steady hands Seonaid.
looks ethereal 🙂 and great words 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the words, I love creating that silky water effect……otherworldly 🙂
Lovely,magical image.
She’s a beautiful but restless muse the sea 🙂
Love your pictures as much as your precise words
Thank you, I was playing around with my shutter speed for this one 🙂
