Photography: Dillon Beach

“I am a tiny seashell
that has secretly drifted ashore
and carries the sound of the ocean
surging through its body.”
—Edward Hirsch

Sometimes a place can be familiar to you but still hold secrets. People are like this too. I look for what is true. What is real. That’s where magic lives.

On this beach trip, the ocean was angry. It pounded the shore and never receded enough to reveal the tide pools. The beauty took my breath away. Come with me.

    • Thank you! #8 is the spot I enter the beach and it always feels like magic to me. Climbing through that tunnel is like entering another world that’s suddenly so much brighter and louder. It can be overwhelming.

    • Thanks! I didn’t realize until I edited the photos that the surfer was staring at me. I wonder if he was annoyed I was taking his photo or liked the attention?

      • Worry not, sweet lady. He is part of your nature photo. You captured a moment. His presence was a that of angle-righter 📐‘Tis all, me thinks.
        It is indeed lovely with him in it! 👏🏽 a great Nature moment.

      • Bridge, allow me a technical question. Do you keep all these photos in your WordPress Media File after posting them? Or do you remove after posting. (Does removing do something to the blog post?)
        You must have more than 1K photos.
        Somehow, I just passed 1K too but I
        Started having a disorganized media file. Jetpack suggested a media manager plugin. Do you have one? Please tell me which. Thanks, Bridgette dear. Blessings.

      • I don’t delete them and I’ve never had a problem…yet. I know these photos are big and I suspect I might have an issue at some point. Maybe it’s because I pay for the ad-free hosting that I perhaps have more leeway? I don’t really know. And no, I don’t use a plug in.

      • Oh my gosh! No plugin?

        And I bet your photos in the media library populate in the exact order you add them. Meaning, they don’t skip around and make a mess of themselves so you can’t find them.

        I had a big fallout on my website recently after I disabled the Elementor plugin. I lost a banner from that fallout and now the media file is acting out.
        Bridgette. Thanks for responding. I will deal with it.

        Is it safe to say that you (such an accomplished photographer that you are) have over ONE THOUSAND photos in your file? Xoxo

      • I like rough seas. I wrote poems about the temerity of rough seas and how it invigorates me when I’m drowning in my poetry collection.

        Also about almost dying of exuberance once scuba 🤿 diving

        Also I named that babe Aqua Marina—I like her in all her magnificent phases but especially when she’s expressing like in yours.
        Thanks, Bridgette. Blessings.

  9. I am a tiny seashell

    • Yes! I was astounded at how wild the waves were and how many rocks it deposited on the sand. At the same time, when the waves pulled back there were moments of calm. The ocean is an incredible teacher.
