The ocean on a stormy day. Waves rolling and crashing. Green water. Foamy white spray that flies through the air and kisses my face with salt.
Debris litters the beaches. Telephone-pole sized logs tossed like toothpicks in the powerful water. Not a good time to go swimming or surfing, although a few hardy wind surfers were out.
Cora stopped by with her dinosaur-bubble-blower. It runs on batteries and produces a forest of bubbles with no effort. Something new to me. Her enthusiasm motivated me to pull on a jacket and boots and join her.
In place of a bubble-blower, I took my camera, captivated by the beautiful light-reflecting bubbles landing everywhere.
Mosses caught the light. These days, light is fleeting and we notice every bit of sunshine.
On another morning, a slant of light illuminated a tea cup and plant.
It's been a very quiet week as I recover from the ear infection. Who knew it would take so long? Lots of rest, to be sure, but I am trying to accomplish one or two tasks each day. Today I baked fruitcake. I don't eat it, but those I love enjoy it. It was a two-day affair with preparing the fruit yesterday and soaking it in rum before making up the cake itself today.
Thank you for your kind words and recovery wishes. Progress is being made. A few more days of antibiotics and by then, I hope all is cleared up.
What a beautiful photo of the bubbles, I do hope your ear infection clears fully soon for you, they are so painful.
ReplyDeleteEveryday I'm feeling better, and I'm hopeful that plugged ear will soon unplug!
DeleteI’m glad you are feeling a bit better. I love those bubble photos. What fun! I’m sure your granddaughter helped to cheer your spirits. Wishing you a lovely relaxing weekend. B x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbara. Cora was so much fun with her bubbles.
DeleteYou took beautiful photos flooded with light... I can well imagine that Cora lured you out :-))
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful tea cup is a dream... lots of fun for you and relax.
A hug from Viola for you
Thank you, Viola. The teacup is one I purchased in Switzerland several years ago.
DeleteGorgeous pictures !!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a cozy weekend !
Anna
Thank you, Anna.
DeleteI'm sorry to hear about your ear and hope that your recovery is full and the infetion ends soon. It's so hard to be productive when you feel rotten. That water is gorgeous. Sending all good wishes your way!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanie. I'm feeling better each day.
DeleteGlad you are improving.
ReplyDeleteLove the bubbles and the little sweetie enjoying them
I have bubble mix ready for winter to see if we can do frozen bubbles on a calm day…not easy here.
Oh, I do hope you can do frozen bubbles. I'd love to see them.
DeleteBeautiful angry ocean! I remember my children having ear infections and it's hard to imagine the pain they suffered til I had one myself. Hope you're all better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leslie. The ocean is beautiful in all moods.
DeleteI know how miserable an ear infection can be. I haven't felt very good since we got home from camping but it may just be allergies. Love the bubbles...what fun photos!
ReplyDeleteI hope you soon feel better, Diane.
DeletePS I hope you feel much better soon my friend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLove the bubble shots! Fun. Glad you are getting better.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ellen. It's hard to be patient.
DeleteI'm glad you're on the mend. It's never fun to have an ear infection...or any other infection either.
ReplyDeleteBlowing bubbles, on the other hand, is lots of fun. An automatic blower is a new one to me though!! GM
The bubble blower is a nifty gadget!
DeleteCora and bubbles are enchanting. I hope you are on the way to recovery now.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara. I'm feeling so much better just today!
DeleteSo sorry you have been no unwell; these things can take a while to be rid of. Our little grands have one of those bubble blowers, and they are a marvel indeed. Like you, I was fascinated with the volume of pretty bubbles! It is lovely to see a photo of the ocean as well as the architecture of your area. It is so different from that in our tropical climate, and those houses look very attractive indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love how you described the ocean and the light on the mosses. It’s great that you found a little joy with the bubble-blower and your camera. The fruitcake sounds like a lovely gesture too. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteYour photos of the crashing waves are beautiful! It may sound strange but I find them soothing to listen to and watch! If it gets well below freezing, I suggest playing with the bubbles then! I have a few times! You may end up with some nice sweet surprises!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are just amazing! Take care now and have a happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteLove from Titti
I am pleased to learn that you are now getting better, but what a joy little Cora's bubble machine is, it is no wonder that she managed to entice you out too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Lorrie. They brighten up my morning. I'm so glad you are on the mend.
