A rustic swing lolls from an ancient tree by the sea as children's whispers echo on the breeze.

    Can we use conch shells to record the children's whispers?
    I wonder if the swing can support my current weight.
    Thanks to Italian pizzas! Ha~
    Oh yes, gelato was the accomplice.

    Have a good weekend!

    I like the way that you framed this great old swing by the sea... the worn out seat and hand grip tells of the many songs of joy at this special place....peter:)

    Lovely image. As your words indicate, Doug, this quite a haunting scene. I expect to see the waves roll in at any moment, and the swing sway in the breeze...

    Nie koniecznie chciałabym się tam huśtać, ale z pewnością spacerować po plaży. Cudownie tam jest. Pozdrawiam.
    I would not necessarily swing there, but certainly walk on the beach. Miraculously there. Yours.

    This image oozes happiness--I don't think there could be a better place to swing away the hours.
