Day forty-one - I love...boats and ships

I haven't been sailing since I was pregnant with my son - about 16 years ago - but I still have a great love of boats.

one day, I'd love to sail across the Atlantic. but for now...pictures of boats and sailing will have to suffice.

Day forty - I love...flowering things

For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. ~ Edward Abbey

Flowers don't worry about how they're going to bloom.  They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful. ~ Jim Carrey

You belong among the wildflowers, you belong in a boat out at sea, Sail away, kill off the hours, you belong somewhere you feel free. ~ Tom Petty "Wildflowers"

Day twenty-three - I love...water

The last few days I've been thinking it would be really great if the weather would warm up enough for me to go down and sit on one of the swing-benches down by the Ohio River.

because I start to get a little bit antsy when I'm not by the water.

Ocean is best.

Lakes are lovely.

Rivers and streams are glorious.

A few of my favourite ocean places:  (pictures by me.)
