« things I have done... | Main | "wide"~ PhotoHunt ~ take 2 »
I was really stumped this week and almost gave up. I was ready to post this:
But then...
last night, when I mentioned this week's theme to a friend, in less than
a minute, she came up with this idea:
(I took this photo of the wide blue Pacific Ocean in August 2007 up on the North Shore of Oahu.)

I laughed at the "I've got nothing"! You ended up with an amazing photo, perfect for this wide open theme. Love those blues.
Hope you're feeling better and having a nice relaxing weekend!

I was stumped for a while, too. But OH what a wonderful photo you have!!! It captures the colors and texture so perfectly! I could gaze at it forever.
I did Photo Hunter today, too. I hope you can visit, and leave your link.

Thanks everyone. The ocean is so beautiful here in Hawaii. It is hard to take a bad shot. I love watching the foam as the waves roll in.
As you will see in my next post, the first one was documentation of my as Diana calls it "peri-mental-pause".

Hi Girasoli, that first frame LOL! :) :) :) I Love this wide open ocean theme photo choice! There's just something about sitting on a white sandy beach and looking out into the wide open ocean that is so relaxing to me! I can look at it for hours especially when they are as beautiful as the ones in Hawaii.
Have a great Sunday Girasoli!

Kathy, I feel the same way. I can sit there for hours. I especially enjoy standing at the edge of the water (when I am at a beach that is not very crowded) watching the sea foam and the water come in and then go out again. I hope you had a great Sunday also!! Do you get any extra days off this week?

Hi Girasoli, 3 weeks off! How fantastic. I have the holidays off and a couple of extra days tacked on to the weekends to do a couple of road trips, but that's about it.
Well, enjoy your time off. You deserve it after working on all that baking. Have a wonderful and safe holidays!

Kathy, yes I am lucky. One of the perks of being a teacher. The schedule is changing next year - only 2 weeks off at Christmas with a longer summer instead. I like that better but will miss that extra week at Christmas. Road trips sound fun. To where? Enjoy the holidays :)
Di, the North Shore is always so gorgeous. Merry Christmas to you to...xoxo
