eyes so blue
the child’s first glimpse

  1. Beautiful as always, Xenia. My first glimpse of the sea was at age 31 along the Oregon Coast, and I felt like a child when I saw that vast expanse of sea. It really does change a person. And I love those distant snowy peaks in the photos! Splendid! 🙂

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words dear Mike! Seeing the sea for the first time is such a special feeling and it does change you as a person. We have so many people visit here who love to sit and gaze at the water and I remember you sharing a beautiful photograph recently from your first visit to the Oregon coast – and what a glorious coast that is too! 🐾💛🐾
