The world to-day is sick to its thin blood for lack of elemental things, for fire before the hands, for water welling from the earth, for air, for the dear earth itself underfoot.

Tell us more about that second photo! Sunrise? For you, for the day?
Ah – that would be sunset on the first day. It was cloudy and overcast for the following three days, so no sunsets for a while after this one.
Love that quote! And the pictures too!
I’m reading the book now – The Outermost House – it’s really fabulous!
Nothing like the sea shore to bring us all beck to reality…in a nice way.
Isn’t that the truth!
Your photographs evoke so much tranquility! So beautiful! :-)
It really was a peaceful trip…
The photographs are gorgeous, and I think that’s the book I loved about the Cape (although I’m not positive, will have to Google it.)
I’m actually re-reading it now. It’s so wonderfully written!
