Jellyfish Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Here is another heart from the sea, found whilst walking along the pounding surf.  What fun!  A jellyfish heart.  Thrown purposefully at our feet on our anniversary, I'm sure!

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!

Rock 'n Ocean -Guest Heart Thursday

Sweet sissy Clytie loves the ocean--so this one is for you, Honey!  Can you see the rock heart behind the surf's spray?  It took me a minute--but it is there.  

"Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;

Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;

Let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!

For the Lord is a great God,

and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth;

the heights of the mountains are his also.

The sea is his, for he made it,

And his hands formed the dry land."

~A Psalm of David

(Psalm 95:1-5)

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.

Slimy Seaweed Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

This picture was taken at Oregon's Depoe Bay--A beautiful little city with it's own tiny bay.  There are not beaches here--only rocky edges where the legendary Spouting Horn shoots seawater high into the air.

There's a slimy seaweed heart there--and a few more in the foam of the waves.

I have a chance to win a small original painting of my own dear Polydactyl Cat by one of my all-time favorite artists.  If you'd like to vote for Toez, visit Sandrine's Gallery.  Have a lovely day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!
