Wind


'It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.'


~ Charles Dickens

  5. I would assume that your prevailing winds come from the west, but the wind in your photo looks like it is blowing from Italy.

  7. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that this photo was taken on a Pacific Island. I'd be okay with staying on either place!!

  10. The water looks beautiful though. I like the quote a lot because that is how it is in Boston most days in the shadow of the tall buildings.

  14. You write your blog with Mr Dickens, Jilly ? :- )
    I'm yet wondering how you found the perfect quote to illustrate your picture.....That's not fair !

  15. A picture is worth a thousand words, your photo says it all Jilly!
    (although the Dickens quote is a perfect complement to it)

  16. Reminds me of Winslow Homer - who loved painting palm trees in the wind.
