stormy weekend views

(images: me)

happy weekend! i hope you are cozy, relaxed and embracing the changing of the seasons. in my part of the world we went from warm bonus days in october to stormy seas, driving winds and a swift reminder that the atlantic ocean is indeed in charge. i love that.

these images were from a storm just a few days ago, one that is lingering still. one that has the atlantic still rearing its amazingly beautiful waves. these images are just down the street from me. my view whenever i want it. i feel lucky. i wanted to share. enjoy!

have a beautiful weekend

and during this crazy time, the power of isolation is worth remembering now and then.

enjoy!

what have you been up to with all of this time on your hands at home? i've been still taking a daily beach walk. looking for sea glass and bits of chips of old plates and tea cups (yes i find alot!) has been a much needed therapy session for me. i recently put in a seashell driveway (myself!) and have been throwing the bits of weathered colored glass into the driveway when i get home. slowly creating a kaleidoscope driveway which makes me insanely happy. hey, it's the little things right now right?!

i also just ordered a bunch of different canvas sizes and brand new tubes of paint. i have some old supplies too but want to prompt myself to get back to painting and right now, i have the luxury of an open ocean right down the street with ever changing weather to put onto canvas. i'll share a few when i'm done.

i hope that you too are finding ways to check it down, focus on the positive, tiny things that make you happy. they all add up :) and some fun finds from around the world wide web, if yer interested. take care!

love this.
