Love that with new fmf coming soon, I freely cut into my stash, even cutting seeds two ways so the running stich in the print would be running the same ways in the corners where the prints matched up! I better order some of the new stuff!
Built in 1858, Half Moon Reef Lighthouse stood on piles in Matagorda Bay for over eighty years, warning mariners of submerged oyster beds with a light that could be seen twelve miles away. This community icon now rests beside the main highway entering Port Lavaca from the east.

A New Day
(James Watkins)
A new day begins-
earthbound-
ethereal-
flying around.
Unseen mists of morning-
open ocean green,
blue spouted spray queens-
in darkened emerald dreams.
Violent moodiness of
ancient ocean floors.
Standing silent-
stopped-
by solid sentinel gray doors.
Open your ears and
hear the ancient song-
for we are a breath-
a whisper-
and then gone.
Gray white clouds in
measured morning light,
stretch forth ghostly hands
to distant horizon heights.
Flowing sands,
rich soft pillows rising,
foam waters rolled –
Reflectioned sweet-
blessings stormy,
and daggered deep.
Footpaths fallen-
though carefully called-
lie brooding-
waiting-
silently enthralled.
Come, full- birthed,
appearing quickly
thing of ancient beauty-
aging stars of light-
bright brilliant singing,
resisting evil night.
Bring your watchers
high and steep-
strong on hidden walls,
soft from winters sleep-
unchained mystic music-
mighty opening keys-
darkened dormant dominions-
breath of living wings.
Blown now by fire,
frenzied furnace hot-
desperate with desire,
of beauty that is not.
Frozen mountain stars-
regal, reigning,
galaxies unfurled.
Swirling, dancing destinies-
on anxious alien worlds.
Future hope through
eyes that can not see-
guarded pathways of
mundaned revelry.
Massive mountain darkness,
night mystery and pearl,
deadly wicked wonders,
no heavenly theme
imperiled.
Dying dreams-
sprung to life-
soon escaped
from winters white.
Ephemeral future-
celestially veiled,
tossed and lifeless,
embattled and assailed.
Come forth now,
by seasons force,
to plans of old-
now lend your voice.
Creation sounds,
that groan and sway,
walking free forever-
with joy,
for one more,
glorious
day.

Tonight's sunset over Half Moon Bay in Black Rock. It was low tide with decent clouds in the sky so I quite pleased.

577: It was a very cold morning for this triathlon at Half Moon Bay in Northern California. It was drizzling rain at the start and the water temperature was only 53 degrees. Tough conditions but oh how wonderful it was to see that finish line. Nice hot breakfast to celebrate on on tap for this competitor.
Taken with my Olympus SP-570UZ with TCON-17 (1.7x) tele-converter lens, giving effective 34x optical zoom, only edits are a crop and resize.

There is quite a big distance from the first group of cabanas to the second group.
Cabana # 6 starts the second group of cabanas. Still close to the bar and music but a bit farther away (to the left of the bar)

A walk around a rainy Sherborne in Dorset.
This was the Sunday that had heavy rain at the end of April 2012.
A few days after my visit The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the town as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee visits to towns and cities around the country.
Sherborne was the nearest town to our holiday cottage in Dorset.
Sherborne is an abbey town.
This is the Half Moon Inn on Half Moon Street in Sherborne.
