Around 2 o’clock today I headed on out for a little walk on Anchor Beach here in Woodmont, CT. ¬†I brought my camera along to grab a few interesting detail shots if I happened to run in to any…
It’s amazing how much life, human and otherwise takes place all around us, whether it is a wilted flower, sea shells, a boat, etc I always am fascinated with life, with what once was and what will be. ¬†I can’t even fathom the millions of foot prints that have been embedded in the sand or how many peoples lives may have changed for whatever reason right here along this beach.
Everything has a story to tell, most of the time we are ignorant to what is all around us, whether it be an empty soda can, a candy wrapper, an old newspaper, etc it at one point was touched by someone, somewhere who has a story of their own.
I managed to grab a few images this afternoon and thought I would share with all of the 1 or 2 people who may follow my blog :-O
Starting out with this extremely rustic rock and we all know a rock wouldn’t rust, so I got to wondering, what type of metal is contained within?
I would have a hard time believing this plant is just beginning to bloom or bud (sorry not a horticulturist) but it seemed to survive all winter, therefore still has life…
Nothing really interesting here other than a foot print.. I wonder if this person even saw this here rock that I saw, did they pick it up somewhere else and drop it here or didn’t they even notice it.
This looks as if it has just begun its life season, I could be wrong but it is looking pretty green, it was jetting out of a rock!
This rose was left by someone, perhaps a couple was making up after an argument and she decided she didn’t wanna make up, so she threw the rose onto the ground and left it there; perhaps someone brought the rose to the beach to toss into the ocean as a reminder of someone they lost and it washed back up on the shore.
I wonder how many people have passed all of these shells, how many were picked up by curious children only to be thrown back down after their parents said so.
This looked interesting, almost translucent to some degree and a funky greenish color…
And I leave you with this here tree with a ship off in the distance. ¬†How many people sat on these very rocks and just contemplated something going on in their life? I know I have! ¬†How many people stopped at this very spot to take a picture or to do a little fishing. ¬†Who sat here 100 years ago asking themselves what does it all mean, where will we be tomorrow, what’s next.
Occasionally I get to thinking a little too much, but its humbling in a way, to stop and wonder about everything that surrounds us, instead of letting it all pass us by.
I hope you enjoyed this post, I know I enjoyed writing it and just letting my thoughts flow…
