 . Turning back looking over her sun kissed shoulder for just one more glance at the quiet waters of the bay She could be heard to softly whisper, "I shall return..soon...I promise" Oh, how she always dreaded that final farewell to her favourite summer sanctuary each September- Already she missed the call of the Kingfisher.. The whirring wings of the delicate hummingbirds.. The howl of the wild coyote in the night.. But most of all..she would miss the bay. For the bay held a special magic. It's tranquil waters soothed her troubled mind.. Was it the glorious sunsets ending each perfect day? ...Or perhaps it was the familiar tug of a bass on her line. And in the distance the delighted laughter of the wind-surfers. It was more than ordinary magic..the bay lured her in.. almost hypnotically it held her close in a loving embrace.. softly caressing her wind blown hair, calming her like a giving lover. Leaving her with a feeling of inner peace she had never before known.. Something magical happens out there she has yet been able to explain to anyone.. Perhaps, others must have felt it as well... or had they? Yes, she would remember to bank each and every summer memory... And, in the midst of winter she will again realize there lives within her an invincible summer. . |

Enchantress~ Seductively the water calls remembering that in the ripples there abides a pool of membories that baptize the soul of the searcher in poetic photography waiting to be shared~ Come ye now from the edge of the glow of Rondeau Bay knowing that the magnetic memories will draw you back again~ LOVED my postie card, I did~  Now ... some photos of those bass, please ? I know ... no doubt mountains of laundry are waiting to be done, sprucing up of coming home ... *sighs* of just knowing the summer is fleeting ...~ Love you adorable lady ... and missed you muchly~ *HUGLETS*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I fully understand this - I didn't go away at all this summer as I live in the best vacation spot there is! There is something about the call of serenity that keeps us grounded, and I suppose Mother Earth invented that call, you think? Lovely NL. |

Lovely, Nancy, and a stunning picture too. "she will again realize there lives within her an invincible summer." I can relate to this and that summer is like yesterday. |
