Waves on tropical reefs,
sing,
a constant lullaby.
Island breezes,
carry,
flower scented air.
As the sun sets,
you doze and dream of mermaids,
waving from the sea.
Cheers to you from the peaceful Cooks~
(We are home at The Holler now, but I have a few more tranquil images from The Cooks to share with you).

Oh so beautiful, and brings back wonderful memories of my recent cruise to the New Caledonian Islands. 😊 😊
Oh that sounds so exotic and I have never been….
O.k. That is the tropical beach I want to go for a month
I humbly suggest you do. Besides there is a wonderful dog friend (or two) everywhere you go. You would love it here Dor~
Hi Cindy. I’m glad to know you’re safely home. Thanks for sharing this vacation with us. I’m sick and tired of the rain we’ve had all week, but the water of those waves was still beautiful to behold. That golden sky-scape is gorgeous too. Hugs on the wing!
Hugs flying back to you Teagan and hopes for a sunny weekend too!
Beautiful shots. 😊
Ahhh, thank you so much & cheers to you!
You’re welcome. 😊

I recently came across the term “vispo” and learned that it means visual poetry.
You are a very talented visual poet!
What a fascinating word! Thank you for sharing it with me. Your thoughtful comment touched my <3. Thank you & be well.
I need a TARDIS to transport me there….
We both do! Let’s go……I’ll meet you at Beluga’s for lunch!
Now you are talking! 🙂
The fresh seafood is, well, like something from paradise!
A girl can dream! Nothing like amazing seafood with a gorgeous ocean view. Clears the cobwebs. 🙂
Oh my god, I love it! What a dream!! <3
The Cooks are peace personified without the glitz and crowds <3
I love waves. During my photography period years ago, I’d spend hours at the beach taking endless pictures. One of them is the background image for my blog titled “Stacking the Silver Sea.”
That photo is gorgeous and so is the title!
Thanks, Cindy!
<3
Beautiful pictures!😊 I love the waves amazing.
Ahhh, so happy you enjoyed & cheers to you John!

What wonderful place to dream in. Thanks for sharing these moments Cindy. The photos and memories are very special 💕
You are a lovely friend Val. Happy Friday <3
Gorgeous, Cindy!
(Of course now I’m all greedy for cat pics!)
Laughing, I am working very hard at not becoming an obsessed, crazy cat lady. It is not working!
Hahaha! i have 2 fur babies. Good luck on not becoming a CCL!
A wonderful way to begin a weekend of tranquility. Welcome home. Looking forward to more photos…hugs!!
Hugs to you Rebecca & Happy, Peaceful weekend my friend <3
These photos, especially of the setting sun, are spectacular! 🙂
Awww, I am honored and humbled. Thank you Lynette.
Sehr schöne Aufnahmen…
Danke Ernest für deine Freundlichkeit und Freundschaft
Oh, my, how absolutely amazing! I know you had to have a wonderful time. The scenes you captured are breathtaking! 😍💕
Thank you sweet friend. We all need images and words of peace, beauty, and calm these days.
Thanks for the vacation! Stunning photos, Cindy!
We need to escape to a calmer, saner, slower type of world, at least in our minds, whenever possible.
It is always sooo lovely to travel vicariously with you, Cindy. Ahh, I nearly smell those heady tropical flowers, and the sea and sky – oh my, absolutely gorgeous! Thank you, as always! Happy travels.
Thank you for traveling with me and sharing a world of peace and beauty.
Paradise, indeed! Love the gorgeous sunset captures, Cindy. 💖 🙂
Thank you Amy. Some day I’m sure, we will be in the same place in the world, photographing the same thing, but we probably won’t recognize each other!
The thought makes me smile, Cindy. That would be so sweet even we won’t recognize each other. 🙂 🙂
I just love the curls of ocean waves. Beautiful. 🙂
Very happy you do. Mother Nature is the rocking best artist!
Gorgeous!
Muchas gracias amiga mia <3
xoxo
Another set of great photos. I love the sea and visit in its many moods
I do too. I was born and raised next to it, so I always must return to it.
Stunning collection!
Thanks much Carrie & hope all is well over at your place <3
All’s well, thank you. 😊
Beautiful set!
Merci beaucoup mon ami~
Looks like my kind of place. Peace and tranquility – yes!
Boy, do we need it these terrible days……
Absolutely amazing. So beautiful. Thank you.
I wish I could beam us there right now <3
Aaaah… I really needed this bit of tranquility today, Cindy. Your gorgeous photos transported me to my inner garden of peace ❤️
Yay!!! That is where I want you to be my sweet friend <3
Thank you, my lovely ❤️
Beautiful photos!
Honored thank you!
Gorgeous images! Look at that beautiful, turquoise water…..I’m ready to go there!! 🙂
I hope you do and I want to see your photos!
Thank you, Cindy for this beautiful display. Photos and words are extraordinary. A mini vacation in a post. Sigh!
Ah, thank you! We need positive imagery these days more than ever.
Yes we do, Cindy. 🙂
