looking up

We thought celebrating 45 years of marriage was a good reason
to slip away for a couple of days to sit by the sea,
reading and resting, and contemplating our life together.
Both while there and on the way to and fro, we 
found ourselves looking up a lot. The clouds have been amazing
and my feeble attempts to photograph them don't do justice to their majesty.
We need rain. The storm clouds hover and try.

  1. Happy anniversary, Dotsie! Congratulations on 45 years of marriage. Your cloud photos are lovely as well as the beautiful ocean. Both bring great joy to those who stop to look. I hope rain comes from the heavens for your area. ♥

  3. Happy Anniversary to you both! How wonderful to get away together and celebrate the years. I, too, have been noticing the clouds. Seldom do they produce any rain that we truly need. Except for Louisiana and Texas, the rest of us have been too dry.

    That last photo is beautiful and gives a sense of the scale of sea and sky. You must have had a wonderful time away.

  18. Congratulations on 45 years of marriage, Podso! What a lovely accomplishment, blessed by God. (It was 32 years for us last week; we got a late start.) I hope you get some rain, but not too much, and enjoy the rest of the summer with all its special joys and beauty, not the least of which is a few days at the shore.

  20. These really are wonderful pictures of the skies, Dot. Not an easy achievement when you have to deal with power lines and things you don't always notice.

    Hurray on 45 years together! I'm so grateful to have had my husband alongside me for 30 years (this December). He's the one!!

  23. I missed this post last week! What amazing skies and very lovely and unique mosaics. Yes, I'd say a trip to the shore would be an awesome way to celebrate 45 years together or anything else for that matter! I do a lot of looking up myself...the ever-changing skies mesmerize me. It won't be long before I hear that beckoning roar of the ocean, two weeks to be precise! My sis is coming from Ohio and just us girls will "beachin' it" on my birthday! Happy Anniversary again and may you and your Gardener have many, many years together!
