The Water Colors of Cassis

Friends in France

 

Cassis is a place I adore, it is a small port town not far from where I live.

Last night we went there simply because we needed to soak in some of its color.

Sea blue.

A sip of Pastis.

Pale pink.

Golden yellow.

Evening purple.

A slice of orange.

Sangria. 

 

The summer glow

Along the port of Cassis we walked letting our sails soar, and silence dance while soaking in the last days of summer.

There is something about the lingering smell of tanning lotion mixed with the sea breeze, children's distance chatter, waves coming in, sails flapping… summer perfume of sorts.

Wrapped around one like moonlight on a summer evening.

Another day.

If I stop counting will the days go by slower?

  1. Thanks for the mini vacation. Again and again.

  2. your heart felt words evoke the picture in the mind’s eye before it is shown-your thoughts put to paper with word and picture color the friendship bond between you both- all shades and hues of love….just purity and love in spite of physical proximity– these are the best days of summer, for sure, filled with youthful remembrances of joy and love beautiful in every way….

  4. What a beautiful friend to wish to stop counting the days. Some days are like that. If we could just capture them in a time capsule and bring them out whenever we need a day like that.

  8. I think counting is good if it makes you mindful of the time that you have, otherwise, just enjoy as you are so good at doing!
    See ya!

    Corey,
    My mother used to start crying when we arrived at my aunt’s home because she knew she would have to leave in a few weeks time! I try to not be sad until it is time to go, but it is not easy.
