Been Pining for Summer....

i missed a chance to go to the beach last saturday....to see seals!!!  Harbor Seals bask on the sandbar at Sandy Hook.  Apparently i am the only NJ resident that did not know that happened and that we had seals here!  Sigh.......i will miss the chance again this weekend. i am going on a retreat....a spiritual get away to refresh and renew my soul.  i have never been on one before and i am not quite sure what to expect.  i am hoping for some quiet time....i am hoping for some time to shoot pictures and eat some meals that i did not have to shop for, plan, or cook and clean up after.  i am hoping for a weekend of self affirmation and learning....maybe meeting and making new friends.  i am nervous going into this.  i know virtually no one else there but my daughter...and she will be mostly with her friends.  i am rooming with someone i do not know at all.  i feel like someone going off to college!
i had to post this shot of the sea, i do miss it SO much about now.  The weather here for February has been quite pleasant....and tomorrow mom nature is throwing out a big tease....it may hit 60 degrees!  Bless my soul, i will think i am in heaven!! i begin to have deep yearning for the beach about now.  i miss it all the time, but the holidays keep me busy enough that i haven’t much time to think about that.  Now that things have settled and the last of the dreary days are stretching out before me, i am looking for things to lighten my spirit, and soothe my soul.  Breathe deeply the salt air, and gaze off over the water....feel the warm rays of the sun, and feel the gentle breeze......Ahhhhhh....summer, please hurry!
