Gray Eyes

Gray Eyes

Bridal Lace Headpiece by WhichGoose

It was April when you came

The first time to me,

And my first look in your eyes

Was like my first look at the sea. 


Spring Sparrow by TammieBowdenPhoto



We have been together

Four Aprils now

Watching for the green

On the swaying willow bough;



Sillimanite Flowers 


Yet whenever I turn

To your gray eyes over me,

It is as though I looked

For the first time at the sea.



~Sara Teasdale, 1930

Beaches

The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to the ocean--
Holding the curve of one position,
Counting an endless repetition.

~Devotion, Robert Frost, 1928

Who's going to the beach this weekend? It's been very warm in Southern California, certainly nice enough for a picnic.  Where are your favorite beaches?

Santa Barbara is lovely any time of year.










Or Monterey.  Gorgeous beaches, and the aquarium is awesome.

I prefer lonely beaches over crowded ones, how about you?
