Beautiful Sunday, Sublimely So in Monochrome


As enticing as the perfect moment in life, the sea calls out. I can do nothing else but, hail to the sirens call.

Oh, it was a most #BeautifulSunday, in the very best of ways. #BeautifulSunday is hosted by @Ace108. The pink of the sand is a charming shade of beautiful, unbeknown to many that it is actually a million pieces of coral shattered to tiny pieces, married into the sand. Close your eyes to those thoughts and just enjoy the beauty.

Macro shot of the sand so you can see what I mean. When viewing it from a greater distance, it just carries a complexion of loveliness. The weather is perfect and the Bermudian charm allows me to breathe deeply and enjoy, putting the rest of life on hold. For a moment or three.

And so, I have declared this a #SublimeSunday for sure, for sure. #SublimeSunday is hosted by @c0ff33a where you can use your random pictures to create a personally glorious day. Look around this world and develop your sense of appreciation for the joyful sights around you. Flowers in the woods, the laughter of children, the sound of the waves rolling in... and on and on... Here, take a flower.

This flower is dedicated to #MondayRed by @Kalemandra, who colors my world every single day. Oh, what thing of beauty lay in my midst? No added ingredients, I assure you. Have I told you how I have missed you? I am back, but, truly, my heart is still on vacation.

Le Sigh.

Horseshoe Beach can be whatever you want. When you first come in, it is crowded and would drive away even the most talkative person. Keep walking until you find a cove of your own. There is plenty of them to go around. Miles and miles. And so I do.

It looks like a few good memories are being made on such a perfectly beautiful day. I can see the rays of sunshine peeking out of their souls. Oh, yes.

It cannot possibly be Monday without a little dedication to #MonochromeMonday and @Old-Guy-Photos. He may be on vacation, but we all know his Monochrome isn't.

Just to get a little ahead, so I am not any more behind, I pulled out some trees for #TreeTuesday by @Old-Guy-Photos. I was on my way back home and this beauty jumped out at me as I was looking at the clock tower.

It was a most glorious vacation. I am back. Just barely. I took the long way home, so you will have to pardon my not making the rounds tonight, but rather, looking for my bed. I will be back in the morning, bright and shiny. Pinky swear! I encourage you to make a few good memories on such a perfectly beautiful day. Good night! And thank you for the most awesome support while I was gone! You are all the best! Mwah!

Flowers. There must always be flowers. And as always, we should always end in a flower. Savor the beauty in life. Always and forever.

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.

they set my aunts house on fire i cried the way women on tv do folding at the middle like a five pound note. i called the boy who use to love me tried to ‘okay’ my voice i said hello he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying, and these are what my prayers look like; dear god i come from two countries one is thirsty the other is on fire both need water.

later that night i held an atlas in my lap ran my fingers across the whole world and whispered, "where does it hurt?" it answered,

"everywhere" "everywhere" "everywhere"

    Spectacular photo of the ocean splashing lazily the rocks - golden sandy beaches too quite delightful. I have seen plenty of sun over the last few weeks but only red dusty soil no beaches. I have a million photos of coffee trees and coffee cherries now though!

    Oooh.... you came late but it looks like a nice place to be.

  • @kaerpediem(73)· 2636d

    hahaha Love how you did so many challenges in one post Loved the pictures... that Sublime Sunday pic.... what an interesting rock You definitely have an eye for it <33

  • @ackhoo(71)· 2636d

    You're baccckkkk! 😊 Welcome, welcome!! 💕

    Rest up and take your time... Love those rocks, wow... and the beach... the sand... and the flowers, of course... the trees... and did I say it yet, the flowers!!! 🌼🌷🌼🌷🌼

  • @ddschteinn(65)· 2637d

    Now THAT looks like a beachside place I could sink my leisure bathing suit into. Yowza, what a gorgeous area. I'm sure it is hard to leave, but welcome home, none the less. We've missed you, but take solace in the fact you've been cavorting about in a most lovely of tropical paradice-es. If that is a real word. Which is irrelevant, as it just means a gorgeous place. Cheers on a Wednesday in June.

  • @enjar(79)· 2637d

    That is always great when you can find a little private area on a beach. Most ones down here you can’t do that. Just far too many people on the more popular ones. Which leads most of the locals going elsewhere. Unless they want the tourist trappings of chair and bike hourly rentals, shops and all the restaurants along the border walk.

    Without those people there you would think that was from a remote island in the middle of nowhere! Those giant rocks add some amazing beauty and personality to the area.

  • @zekepickleman(79)· 2637d

    Now THAT looks like a great vacation. I am sure my better half would agree she is overdue for spending time on a beach like that.

    Great pics and sublime thoughts.

    I find I am having a bit of a time getting back into the routine. Especially blogging! I have so much content and new ideas and I have no clue where to start!

    Great pics as always! Especially the top catching the surf!

  • @willowwisp(62)· 2637d

    You're back! You were missed. This post has something for everyone. I liked (the third photo down) the rock formation and private cove of this photo. I found myself looking at it several times. We went to Bermuda's Horseshoe Bay about 50 years ago on our honeymoon. Thanks for bringing back old memories for me.

    Lovely photos, that beach looks quite inviting!

  • @bluemoon(78)· 2637d

    What a pleasure, @dswigle! I missed your beautiful blogs. I'm very glad that the vacation was so pleasant. Because I love so much blue ... I felt like a fist in my stomach the monochrome version ...

  • @nainaztengra(82)· 2637d

    Your pictures are so beautiful and the place itself is breathtaking. Enjoyed watching them and the flower pictures you just nailed them.

  • @mcsamm(80)· 2637d

    good to see you at long last, you have been away for a while.

  • @vibesforlife(65)· 2637d

    Really liked the beach shots here. I loved the way explained how shattered coral is married to sand to give it its beauty.

  • @fionasfavourites(77)· 2637d

    What great beach photos. And what a beautiful beach. Welcome back!

    Beautiful shots! Oh to be on that beach! I would love to find my own little cove to enjoy, as well. I can only handle big crowds for so long, especially when I am supposed to be enjoying a vacation.

    Perhaps next time just bring us along, then you won't have to come back. 😉 I would gladly bring snacks for the beach, haha!

  • @momoriso(65)· 2638d

    Great photography @ dswigle

  • @gabrielatravels(79)· 2638d

    Love the architecture of the stones! I would give anything for a day spent in that place :D

  • @natubat(65)· 2638d

    That beach is so beautiful, rocks and all! I once touched down in Bermuda while on a flight to the Bahamas with my parents at the age of three. I've had a fascination with the place ever since, and would love to visit. I just love your photo of the red rose. It looks like velvet, as if it's melting.

  • @hangin(73)· 2638d

    Welcome back Pinky swear and i think you would be Pinky all over from that beautiful sunshine you certainly do know how to pick the best spots. Well good to hear from you again and glad you had a great vacation and i do love the rocks the shapes are just awesome :)
