Sunset over Channel Islands National Park.

The palms stand sentinel,

with the setting sun.

In daylight,

people come to play.

The vigilant palms,

are happy now,

with storms, and lots of rain.
Cheers to you from the central California coast~

How beautiful! Would love to be there!
Have a fine weekend, and stay safe, dear Cindy.
Another great post, Cindy! Love the “standing sentinels” watching the cycles of life!
Thanks so much! You expressed this beautifully. Trees do this don’t they? They stand sentinel “over the cycles of life.”
I wish I could beam you over here right now Martha! You stay safe too my friend დ
Nice scenery. Wish that I lived closer to an ocean.
I can emphathize and understand დ
Gorgeous photos Cindy that make me want to visit the beach. I love the contrast of the palms in the first two sunset images.
I appreciate your thoughtful perceptiveness very much Brad დ
I love the palm trees at sunset — they’re stunning! But that photo of the beach warms me to the core! I’m seriously in need of walking in sand along a sunny beach.
I understand perfectly Debbie. Walking in the sand on a sunny beach is soothing to the soul დ
The scenes are beautiful, especially those sundown colors!
Merci beaucoup mon Ami Lavinia დ
Those palm silhouettes do remind me of southern California specifically, although I’m sure you can find them in other places too. Nice sunsets. 🙂
Palms are iconic of sands, sea and sun. So happy you enjoyed them Dave & cheers დ
Beeaauuttiiful! Sigh (of fantasizing).
I wish I could beam you and Murph over now! 😉
We’d appreciate that, make it so : )
Will do in a momentito, just looking now for Mister Sulu…….
