Sail On

Prayers and help for our Asian neighbor Japan..

all we need to do is raise our sails.”

Explore... Dream...Discover..."

It saddens my heart when I think of what's transpiring in Japan and yes, I agree they need our prayers.

Your photos are magnificent, I love the B&W. I also copied the quote about the sails and the wind, I hope you don't mind... that's a beautiful quote.

Enjoy your weekend Regina!

I have been thinking or our dear friends in Japan too, Regina. If you have a spare 5 minutes today, I would love it if you could stop by my blog and link up this post to my Sunday Song post. No songs are needed today, just thoughts and prayers for our friends in Japan.

Take care and best wishes for a beautiful day.
Natasha.

Hi Ann I haven't heard about it and it's not even in the news.

We are sad of the people suffering because of the earthquake in NZ and in Japan.

Hard to imagine what the place really looks like now. Not downtown, as I understand that was not damaged much, but the neighborhood fish market and the neighborhood fruit market and rice market? I suppose they were all washed away.

I enjoy your black and white photos.

Dyche Designs said...

Great shots, love these.

Japan is in the thoughts of many people around the world. Thankfully a couple of the nuclear reactors are now OK although four are still in serious condition.

DUTA said...

Peaceful boats, but not so peaceful earth (earthquake) and sea (tzunami).
May God help Japan recover from its recent traumas!
