14 march
winter will not go down easily
the ocean continues to freeze
~
i am on spring break this week
i have plans to catch up on paperwork
and get outside with my camera
~
the boys will be with us this weekend
we are looking forward to the company of one another

I am watching The Fugitive Kind with Marlon Brando
It is the first time I've seen it though I used to watch
old movies all the time
I love the way that old film looks
our movies have become so dumb
Of course this movie is filled with sex and violence
but there is a plot and some character development
What we miss when we remove those things

I love the old movies of the 30s and 40s -- some are rather kitchy, but that time period appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy time with your kids -- my oldest is coming over tomorrow for dinner and it's been too long. xo
I find more and more that CG special effects get in the way of a good storyline. Everyone's looking for better visual impact rather than better dialogue. Very nice shot of the ocean ... we're on Lake Ontario, and it was so choppy on Wednesday during the snowstorm, huge whitecaps and spray. I pity the birds all huddled together on shore waiting for to finish. Wendy x
ReplyDeleteHope you get time outside - Spring WILL come...
ReplyDeleteA great Random 5 and have a fabulous Friday :)
Wow lovely pic ! Looks so calm and peaceful :)
ReplyDeleteI lived for over 20 years by the Pacific Ocean and never saw ice on it, it is quite an amazing thing. We've just watched for the millionth time Arsenic and Lace, I think that I laugh as hard as I did the first time each sitting, I love and prefer the older movies.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the frozen water, great picture.
ReplyDeleteHello dear you
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely poem! I love the photo softness!

Brrrr. That is a chilly-looking ocean you have there. I'd go watch movies too if I were you.
ReplyDeleteI adore that photo! No, winter is not going down easily anywhere. Have fun with your camera and your boys!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun week!
ReplyDeleteYes, I hear that winter still has your side of the continent very much in its grip. Enjoy your break and your boys.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your spring break....
ReplyDeleteI love old movies, too - and the music that accompanies them. I've recently discovered 40's on 4 (on Sirius XM) and have enjoyed pretending like I'm not in this century while in my very high-tech 21st-century car.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your spring break - ours is coming up in two weeks! <3
The color of the sea is so beautiful, ice and all! Have fun with your boys - hope you find more old movies to enjoy. I love old Doris Day movies...:) xo Karen
ReplyDeleteLove old movies, especially when they keep them in black & white (not colorizing them). I miss the simplicity of them, the stories they tell. Today is is either all action, all violence or sex scenes that aren't really sexy.
ReplyDeleteI love old movies ... black and white seems much more romantic! We've all had a winter we won't forget. Have fun with the boys. Lovely post -- as ever. Happy Weekend.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the movies situation. There is some much blowing up and blood it is aggravating. That is a great shot.
ReplyDeletebeautiful scene. so serene.
ReplyDeleteLove that image! So beautiful. Hope you enjoy the break with the boys.
