The Sea!
How many books can you think of where the sea is included in a positive way? Try taking one minute and typing any that come to mind!
Here are my one-minute results. (It looks like authors carry certain themes throughout their writing, and my mind got stuck in a rut under the pressure of a time-limit!)
Little Women and Jack and Jill by Louisa May Alcott
Nobody, Queechy and Diana by Susan Warner
After the minute was up, another favorite came to mind: North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell.

Here are photos from some of our healthful visits to the Atlantic Ocean this winter.
Hi Hannah, Thanks for sharing your photos! What is the creature in the fourth picture from the top?
ReplyDeleteIt is a Portuguese man o' war. Not technically a jellyfish, but looks along those lines... Isn't it beautiful?! But its sting can kill fish and range from painful to dangerous for people. Just washing past your legs in a wave can sting you, so I jumped out of the way when the next wave washed it away again.
DeleteI do not know what the blob of jelly is in the 5th photo from the bottom, though. Such amazing colors in places inside...
Yes, it's gorgeous! How big was it? It's hard to tell by the photo.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a bit bigger than my hand... so, a rough guess would be 20x15 cm.
