Wind
'It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.'
~ Charles Dickens

Beautiful photograph and quote.
Very nice, and also that you got the flag and the person on the bike in your shot.
Happy Easter!
Lovely shot. I like the move on the picture. Beutiful waves.
A GREAT day for kites on the beach. Wonderful quote with it too.
I would assume that your prevailing winds come from the west, but the wind in your photo looks like it is blowing from Italy.
Fantastic!
Ah, spring! Wonderful quote to accompany a wonderful photo! How do you do it? :-)

If I didn't know better, I would have thought that this photo was taken on a Pacific Island. I'd be okay with staying on either place!!
That poor cyclist was probably working very hard to make any headway at all in that stiff breeze.
That is a sparkling photograph. I really like it.
The water looks beautiful though. I like the quote a lot because that is how it is in Boston most days in the shadow of the tall buildings.
A beautiful photo and a perfect quote.
A beautiful photo and a perfect quote.
A very impressive photo capturing the mood exactly!
You write your blog with Mr Dickens, Jilly ? :- )
I'm yet wondering how you found the perfect quote to illustrate your picture.....That's not fair !
A picture is worth a thousand words, your photo says it all Jilly!
(although the Dickens quote is a perfect complement to it)
Reminds me of Winslow Homer - who loved painting palm trees in the wind.
