We have been back in Southern California for a week already and we had the great privilege of enjoying the beauty of Emma Wood State Beach on Saturday morning. We are aware here in Southern California that we are one of the only parts of the U.S. not caught in the grip of Global Warming, umm the deep freeze. Today my mosaics will be linked to Mosaic Monday hosted by Mary at the Little Red House and Blue Monday hosted by Smiling Sally in Florida. Even Sally is experiencing the cold in Florida!!
Psalm 33:6-8 (English Standard Version)
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap;
he puts the deeps in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the LORD;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
Have a good week everyone and stay cozy…
Oh and lest I forget to spread the news
The lovely Laurie at Bargain Hunting & Chatting with Laurie is having a Valentine Party on February 12th!
Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.
These images never grow old…remembering the soothing sound of the waves…peace, be still
Beautiful! The rain should be coming in here tonight. It was a lovely dry day here indeed!
I love these photos my friend. These are just wonderful 🙂
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL … aren’t we the lucky ones to live near the Pacific Ocean. I love falling asleep to the sound of the surf.
Hugs and blessings,
Your mosaics/photos are beautiful. It’s hard to believe it’s warm anywhere right now!
Beautiful photos. We are truly blessed to be living in So. California.
fabulous captures!!!
How I’d love to be in California right now! I agree, I think the west coast is the only part of the country that is normal, temperature-wise.
Gorgeous photos. I feel warmer already 😉
Hi Ellen, aren’t we just so spoiled in SoCal? I sure would love to visit this beach someday. I love the big waves splashing and the soft colors of the skies!
Happy New Year!
Those are nice powerful waves… makes me want to go to the beach this weekend. Nice capture of the bird in flight!
🙂 ahhh sweetie– you and I are on the same topic today… weather.
How fun!
I laugh so hard when I hear “them” talk about global warming — ummm yah sure.
Your shots are wonderful and remind me that I need to win the lottery so i can go to a beach very soon.
Have the best week and stay warm!!
TTFN~~ Claudia ♥ ♥
Those are beautiful, Ellen! I just keep looking back to my summer pics to get me through…I don’t mind the cold…it is the snow and ice that annoy me!
Sending you a little gust of cold air to make you appreciate where you are more! 🙂
Wonderful pictures!
Oh Ellen, what a treat it is to see your beautiful photos of the ocean. I live in Tundra county – Michigan! It is bitter cold here – just about zero, with about eight inches of snow on the ground and more to come tomorrow. Spring cannot possibly come fast enough!!!
Have a beautiful new week…Kathy
Lovely, lovely mosaics – very calm scenes, love the birds (assume seagulls).

Wonderful photos, Eleen! I love the Pelicans. Great capture.
The water looks cold to me! But Beautiful just the same! My mosaic is linked to my name.
I like the scripture you added. I have started a new project for the 2010 year of using 1 photo, 1 verse and 1 quote in a second blog. You can find it at

Hopefully for a little inspiration to those who read!
Standing on a beach looking at the waves come in, one of my favorite sites. Love it. ~Jeanne
I’m drooling, wish I was there now…we’re experiencing a heat wave, it’s 25 now…
Beautiful shots! Love the birds and the waves!
Wonderful photos 🙂
I think I would like to visit you now. Warmer would be welcome!
Beautiful mosaics!
Yes, Ellen, while living in Florida, I am colder than I thought possible. It went to 27º last night–a record low! Our heater is pumping away, and I am huddled in a heavy sweater. Mr. Gore should hang his global-warming head! 😉
Meanwhile…smile…I love your warming pictures. Happy Blue Monday.
Beautiful blues, Ellen! Thanks for sharing your lovely images at MM. 🙂
oh sooo beautiful! What we have here in Michigan all white! 🙂 Happy MM.
Loved your mosaic. It reminded me of my hometown in NW FL. The Bible scripture was so appropriate.

I absolutely love, love, love water and heavens photo shoots!! I can almost feel the wind and hear the waves in these photos! Great Job.
so nice to see on this cold winter day.. waiting on summer here in Savannah ..lol
hugs, Cherry
What a lovely mosaic! Love all the blues..and I am jealous of your warm weather being in cold NY!
Oh what beautiful photos. Almost made me feel warmer just to look at them. Your mosaics are gorgeous. Love how you captured the bird swooping down for dinner, and the Bible verse is perfect with it. How sweet of you to advertise my party! I appreciate it so much. laurie
Wonderful mosaic and marvelous scripture.
I love the waves and the pelicans, it looks a lot like Florida. It is, in fact, VERY cold here. It would be funny if it weren’t for the crop failures and the homeless. Just another intense experience for us all.
I love your ocean wave mosaic Ellen, and a very beautiful verse to accompany it.
Thankfully our winter hasn’t been unusually cold this winter as in other places. It has been just a normal winter. It makes me anticipate spring all the more!
Bea-u-ti-ful ocean pictures. How peaceful and calm it looks. Thank you for sharing these pictures for Blue Monday~
the waves and the birds are such a lovely scenery….posted mine too a mosaic koi pond
mine’s here
Gorgeous Mosaics, calm and serene. We are in San Fran and we have been feeling the cold this year for the first time, happy week to you. Kathy.
Beautiful! Hope you’re having a good week!
