I invite you to continue exploring the emotions elicited through the wonderful photographs shared by my friends. WATER MOODS II focuses on the allure of the sea and the varied responses of humans to its fascinating aspects. – Lorelie
THE ALLURE
SEA FEVER
John Masefield
I must go down to the sea again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
THE POWER
APOSTROPHE TO THE OCEAN
Lord George Gordon Byron
Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, Roll!
. . . .
Thou glorious mirror, where the Almighty’s form
Glasses self in tempest; in all time,
Calm or convulsed; in breeze, or gale or storm,
Icing the pole, or in the torrid clime,
Dark heaving, and sublime; –
THE FASCINATION
HAIKU
BASHO
SHIKI
Overhanging pine . ..
Adding its mite
Of needles
To the waterfall
RIVER MOGAME
WINDING FROM
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS
WASHES WARM SUMMER

So enjoyed your water connections and photos, Lorelei. I , too, sometimes long for but am grateful for the life I lived on the sea, fishing, sailing, listening, watching…and truly blessed to still visit and spend cherished moments on the water. Thank you. Nancy O
