To stand at the edge of the sea
to sense the ebb and flow of the tides
to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh
to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept
up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of year
to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea
is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal
as any earthly life can be.

Karen-What a gorgeous post..it is lovely~ gorgeous and wild and lonely looking all at the same time. xxoo Diana
Karen, what a beautiful place to explore. You must be having warmer weather right now. We are, too. You were 50% right with your guess.
Beautiful photos. Love the poochie!
Fabulous photos! I looked at a jacket for Rowdy a couple of days ago almost exactly like that!
You look so beautiful. I'm jealous of your hair!

What a lovely walk you took me on…My family and I went for a beach walk on New Years day too…so warm! balmy almost! Happy New Year Karen…it has been nice getting to know a "neighbor":)
I go to Hammonasset often… it is just 6 minutes from my house. I love the grey skies and water this time of year, and know that it is a place where renewal happens… Happy New Year!
