Toy Boats

Leaf 345 – Reflections

 

Edward Hopper - Coast Guard Cove (1929)

As a child, I always enjoyed playing with toy boats – losing my imagination in made-up stories of sea voyages and shipwrecks on far away islands. And compared to the raw power of the sea, real boats can be tossed about and meet their ends like simple toys too.

 

 

Toy boats

in rock pools

on a rugged shore.
