Beach Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

I always feel privileged when I find a heart such as this breaking through the smooth surface of the stone cliffs near the sea. I thought this one, which I spotted last week, was perfect for Guest Heart Thursday.

Here is where the surf pounds against the rocky tide pools beneath the shadow of Teacup Rock.  A closer look at the photo earlier today and I found another heart in the spray.  Can you see it?  

Have a lovely day, and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Tidepool Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

The tidepools were amazing.  What a subtle world of beauty.  If you notice, the tidepool is in the shape of a lopsided heart.  

I am continually entertained and amazed by the placement of hearts and other shapes throughout nature.  I found this beautiful seaweed heart in a tide pool.  There are several hearts to be found here.

The tide was coming in, crashing along the sides of the sandstone cliffs.

Pacific City on the Oregon Coast is renowned for its Dory Boats and for its surfing--though all surfers wear wetsuits to protect themselves from the cold waters.  I asked one of these athletes why they went out along the cliffs.  He explained that during high tide a strong rip tide develops which is used to take them out to the big waves.  He smiled and said it was much better than paddling all the way out there!  Who knew?!

There is a sideways heart in the crown of that stand of trees.  There were two ocean sky opals the night before we left.  It is always magic to see one of these beauties.

Heart of Light -Guest Heart Thursday

 
I took this picture as the sun set, during a wonderful trip my sister and I took to Pacific City on the Oregon Coast.  This brilliant heart of light seemed perfect for today.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sea Heart - Guest Heart Thursday

I have always loved the sea--I haven't been there since this Spring.  This sea heart can be found at low tide along the foot of the cliffs of Pacific City.  The cliffs and tide pools there are amazing.

Square over Pacific City

A few years ago my friend Lynn and I went to the beach and stayed for a couple of days.  This is one of the extraordinary photos I took that day.  Yes, I do see the mermaid--but do you see the giant rectangle???

Have a wonderful week!
