Brushstrokes in Bali

Recently, I visited the seaside settlement of Bali, Crete, although, judging from the image above, one would think 

I had spent my days floating on a cushion of clouds, 

rather than bobbing on wavy pillows in the sea.

Can you spot the dab of a sailboat on the

 canvas of dreamy blues in the distance? 

A whisper of white, it silently floats, to and fro, 

creating just a sliver of contrast against

 the palette of marine toned hues.

From afar, it seemed that a pack of gigantic sea monsters, were keeping the little boat at bay, the latter, fearful of anchoring at the ghost town the brutes had created earlier.

 As we headed inland, I wondered how long it could linger there, cradled in the wavy safety of the sea.

Then, pausing to take one last look, I was startled to discover, that the hazy horizon was suddenly, and puzzlingly, sailboat free.

Thanks for visiting, and

have a wonderful weekend!
