TC05 - "Tide Rises, and the Tide Falls"

This WeeK: "MUSIC" (Guitar, Playing an Instrument, Things that make sounds, iPods, Sheet Music, Noisy Things,...)

Nature always makes the best music for those quiet, reflective moments we all need now and then. Taken at Fort de Soto Park in St. Petersburg, Florida. You can view the photo set in my Picasa Web Album: Beach Walk at Sunrise.

The post's title is borrowed from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, which is worth reflecting on as well:

TIDE RISES, AND THE TIDE FALLS

The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands damp and brown
The traveler hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.

Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea, the sea in darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands
Efface the footprints in the sands.



“Every artist dips his brush in his own soul,
and paints his own nature into his pictures.”
~Henry Ward Beecher
