The Ocean

I love the ocean. Sometimes I wonder why I was born on the cold Canadian prairies when I feel such peace and relaxation by the ocean. The salty air? The gentle sounds of the waves? The power of God's creation there before me in such majesty?
I dream of a little cottage on the ocean - just me, my husband, some good books, a market nearby, early walks at sunrise, falling asleep to the rhythmic sounds of the waves, flush toilets and perhaps internet? :)

Here are some photos I took of the ocean this past January. I took them at about 6am. I used a very slow shutter speed to capture the motion and the depth.

    It's open!! And they serve free wine!!
    Thank you!
    :) I have a long hallway in our home with some framed shots from our plymouth trip. David really encouraged me to put the family photos somewhere else and start framing - so I have.
    So starts the collection - one day perhaps I will have enough to do a small display somewhere. Still haven't found my niche though. But I am thinking one of these sunrises might look mighty fine on canvas.
