Tramore, here in the South-East of Ireland, was bathed in sunshine today and the sea was a calm shimmering blue.

Back in January our coastline was battered by furious storms that seemed unending.
The scenes that stretched before me this afternoon were ones that were beyond the imagination when the wind howled and the seas roared. So, I just want to give thanks and sing like the birds.

Now that would be a real treat!
Indeed it would – for me, for sure!!
There sure was a time when we thought we’d never see calm seas ever again. Amazing how nature works.
If we could truly understand nature, we’d be very wise indeed!
Lovely pics, Jean. I especially love that boat! Gorgeous!
Hi RH, thanks for writing. Yeah, I just adored the way the boat was reflected in the water at The Pier.
