Thankful Thursday: “See” Fever edition

 

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

–excerpt from Sea Fever, by John Masefield

 

 

My friend Karen and I are taking some of the same field trips I remember from my childhood—the Mission at San Juan Capistrano, the county fair, tide pools along the Pacific Ocean. What I like best about these child’s-eye views of Orange County: They’re raw and real, not spoiled by the media’s distorted lens. 

 



I spy, with my little blue eyes…


tide-pool treasures, spilled from…


Mother Nature’s pocketbook!

    • Well then, you simply must come again!

      It’s so, so warm and pretty this time of year, which is why we’re overrun with tourists. No worries, there are secret hideaways for the locals.

  3. I love tide-pools! It’s been too long that I’ve been away from the ocean. I feel a trip coming on… =^)

    Sounds like you are having fun! Yay!
