Ciao Amalfi

Beaches, Positano · November 5, 2009

Enjoying the beach to yourself at Positano

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Positano Beach

 

Last weekend on the way to Capri, the boat stopped first in Positano. It was a beautiful and bright morning, especially warm  in the sun for the last day of October. As the few late season tourists got off and on the boat, I couldn’t help but notice the empty beach that during the summer months is absolutely packed to the edges. Look at all that space!

If you don’t mind brisk water temperatures for swimming, the water is remarkably clear this time of year. There was only one person I could see enjoying the sun and the space on the beach. He had exactly the right idea for how to spend the morning!

    Thanks for the beautiful Positano fix this morning. I think I might just be able to dream my way through the rest of the day.

    A beach that uncrowded? Wonderful! I would love a day just to lie around on the beach for hours… I can almost feel the pebbles and sand under my toes. Must be heavenly!

    Ciao Mom! Always happy to make you smile and dream!

    Ciao Scintilla! I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes. 🙂 With the sun this week I bet people are still enjoying the beach.

    Ciao Anne! Yes, definitely! Is it getting cold there in Oxfordshire?

    Ciao Lisa! That was with the zoom. See why I say I need a better camera?? 😉

    Ciao Amber! I know… it's hard to believe the beaches can be so uncrowded here. I have grown to really love the pebbly beaches here!

    Ciao Food Hunter! Glad you enjoyed!

    Ciao Chuck! Freedom… with room to spare! 🙂

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
