Musings & Memories Montage Telling My Stories and Discovering Your Stories
Thursday Thirteen #11 03/15/07
A story about a day at the beaches with photos. Yes. Beaches. Yes. This is where we went when we had the Zipcar in February.
Each image opens a larger image. These are a portion of a larger collection.
So, way back when, we went touring two spots on the Connecticut Beach along Long Island Sound. Our first stop was Sherwood Island State Park. As soon as I arrived I thought of daisies@pluckthepetal. This is officially the first time I've ever seen a "calm blue ocean."
A swan? In salt water? Is this right?
Yes. Of course Shelbie the bird dog went with us.
Billy is a very patient and gracious man. He did find ways to entertain himself. Check the album to see his real location. See those seashells he was holding for me?
There were seashells here, there ...

Then we went to Silver Sands State Park
And very reluctantly we went home.
There are 24 more photos plus the large versions of these in my Picasa Album

What I mean is ... Please spell it out for us all that you are participating in Thursday Thirteen and leave your link.
And don't be bashful if it's already Friday or Saturday ... leave me a note anyway and I'll come visit ... especially since I do most of my Thursday Thirteen visiting on Friday since many of you post to your blog and my blog after I'm asleep for the day anyway :~)
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It's easy, and fun! Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!
I enjoy your comments. And I want you to enjoy reading each other's comments. To that end purpose, I moderate comments. If you're impatient, MeeboMe.
Commenting Ideas
If you do not have a blog or site, skip the "web site" line, pull a name or "handle" out of your head, write a note, push the button. (No excuses!)
If this entry reminds you of a story of a similar place in time in your life, you are welcome to tell your story.
If you discover your story is taking more than 3 or 4 paragraphs (and if you have a place on the web for your writings), I will not be insulted if you take your story back and finish it at your own site. But then I will be disappointed if you don't come back and leave me a summary of your story and a link -- in the comments.
If you have already written a story about a similar place in time, please feel free to leave a summary and a link.
It's never too late to make a comment or tell a story.
Oooh nice - i have never seen an ocean so calm. I really like the moon shot. And I don't think i've ever seen so many shells like that! Billy looks good in his hat. I realized this weekend that I too wonder off to entertain my self while my hubby takes pictures. I'll have to post pics of my weekend at the coast soon.
oh .. these photos are brilliant, breathtaking and definitely calm blue ocean :)
lovely my dear hugs
~ (blushing) Thanks! And really ... I can't say it often enough ... when I arrived, the most powerful sense of your writing was the thing I most noticed. ~pam
Who are You? 08/18/06 I am me ... I run around with my long hair in a French braid. I camp and hike (often in the city). I live in Upstate NY right on the very edge of The Great Swamp. Continue...
Why does this Site Exist? 10/26/06 My website is largely my memoir ... my musings, photos, encounters, life's stories.
But what really thrills me is that when I let go of my stories, it's like sending out little sail boats out on expeditions. Very often they come back to me filled with other people's stories. Continue...
