Stop, look, listen...


Dear Diary: I have had enough! Enough holiday chatter to last me a lifetime. Enough already! (That's what my dog told me today while I was trying to get a good shot of her by the Christmas tree, in her new holiday sweater).

I am revisiting some photos of mine of a recent camping trip the the Washington coast, near the town of Ocean Shores. I can hear the surf, the birds, smell the brine, the damp, the muck...it's glorious!

Remember to stop, look and listen...

I wish everyone a very warm and peaceful and quiet holiday, whatever that holiday may be. Be grateful, be in the moment. Sit by a lake, or on a beach, or by a river....as a gift to yourself.

Magic on the beach...

Sea glass from North Beach State Park, Copyright 2010 JonesMoore

"Magical" finds from my beach walk at North Beach State Park, near Port Townsend, Washington. The quality of the sea glass here is extraordinary, all of them worn down to perfect "pebble-sized" pieces. Rare colors too: yellow, dark blue, light blue, pink and so on. I had heard (and read) that there was a fabulous sea glass beach near Port Townsend. I don't think I made it the THE beach, but, nevertheless, the "finds" were amazing. These little gems are inspiring me to do some encaustic art based on the colors and luminosity of the glass...
