I love the gulls and how they lined up along the water's edge.
And how they perched on the huge rock.
As a girl I read and loved Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I haven't read it since then and don't recall much about the writing style or the story itself, but it left me with a sensation that gets evoked whenever I'm close to gulls. I was very drawn to this one.
The beaches in North Carolina don't have these amazing rock formations and this one with the opening was mesmerizing. Watching the waves break through the opening was magical.
This looked very much like the doorway to another world to me.
Leaving the beach I noted all the footprints criss-crossing and that too looked like something from a different place and time.
One of the best things about travel is seeing places that look different from those with which we're familiar. It reminds us how big the world is and how many things there are to see and experience. And what has become everyday to us fades as we see new and different things. It does something to our perspective, in good ways.

Wow!
I can almost hear the pounding waves and feel the salt spray after reading this and seeing the pictures.
:)
It was really lovely.
Just beautiful! I love water so blue and the rocks jutting up from it. By the way those footprints are from people who disappeared through that boulder doorway and traveled under the sea to another world...
Arlene, I have said a number of times that you need to write a book. There you go. Pure proof right here on my blog! :)
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Actually, a lot of people have told me the same thing,including a professor whose writing class I took. Maybe I will in the future, I have lots of ideas but nothing solid right now.
We really are going to have to meet at Porches in Virginia sometime in 2017. :)
I'd love that if I can find the time to get away!
Let's put our calendars together right after the holidays.
