Behind a visage of driftwood and barnacle-scabs, there looms an over-brined mind as turbid as the ocean waves, endlessly spitting-up wrack and shell-hash.
Still mired in the murk as I contemplate the porpoise of this blog.
I guess to leave behind a little salt residue.

Hi, you’ve got an award, congrats! http://nkin.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/blog-of-the-year-2012-award-wonderful/
This is amazing. You are in my blog while i am in yours trying to work you out 😉
Yes, it is rather novel. Have fun trying to work me out, and when you have discovered all, please elucidate me 😉 Cheers.
This is only the second time that I have ventured into the depths of your mind. The first time, in October, was a fleeting visit amongst a list of other blogs of which I have no memory, but since reading your exchanges with Marsha and your recent comment of also surrendering your win to Traveler I have gained a great deal of respect for you. I have read many of your comments and you have definitely two characters, the verbose briny squeezing the dictionary until it screams and the other almost hidden gentle side of you which has attracted me to find those hidden gems. So Autumn Jade, here I am on a quest, a knight in golden armour to seek out those cunningly concealed sparkles of light within you. Ralph x
My dear Ralph,
What a scintillating, kind and compassionate comment…to have gleaned respect from you, an individual I already deeply respect, and admire greatly for choice of head-gear (though it does not afford quite as many squirrels as a panama hat, I fear, no matter- it still provides an excellent perch for many wee song birds and one squirrel could nestle nicely there at the top, his tail twirling most cheerfully), has caught me askew, finding myself a bit jarred and baffled, but very deeply appreciative and honoured, nonetheless. I am glad to have met you and ardently look forward to future blog-expeditions, exploring words, photos, thoughts, meandering through splashes of creativity. Already I have found your blog inspiring and a haven in which to abide in, marveling and laughing in the sluicing cascade of your witty, wonderful words. You are a gift indeed, dear matie, and I am grateful,
Autumn Jade
You are very welcome, and now it is time to take a more leisurely stroll around your blog pressing a few likes and possibly a comment or two 😀 Ralph x
Yours , is a beautiful blog , smiles keep swimming backwards and forwards across my beardie face – thank you for visiting my blog , which inturn brought me here 🙂

Hallo Smilingtoad,
I’ve nominate you : )
http://summer4soul.wordpress.com/2013/01/03/a-happy-new-year-to-you/
Congratulations!
Sweet greetings, Summer
Thank you! I am very appreciative and so honoured, I thank you, too kind!
Autumn Jade
You’re very welcome, Atumn Jade!
Sweet greetings, Summer
I’m happy to discover your blog through Summer, as we were nominated for Liebster blog award :))
I’m still novice to it and thinking how to acknowledge the award on my blog!
Hope you do it soon so that i can learn from you! 🙂
Cheers! Will be visiting!
Sofia
Aloha, marvelous to meet you! So glad to have met through nomination via our Summer. I am also a novice I fear with awards (have had wonderful thoughtful nominations but have been devoid of time to participate), am excited to participate with this Liebster blog award. So I will be learning as much from you (if not more so), as you may from me. Too lovely! Cheers,
Autumn Jade
Great! 🙂
As I learnt by now, in order to acknowledge Liebster award on our blogs, we should write a post, answering the questions that Summer mentioned, then nominate 11 other bloggers of our choice for the same award, and then we can add a Liebster logo on our front pages 🙂
I’ll try to make it all tmrw and then ask Summer for a comment, if I did everything right 🙂
Good luck to us 🙂
Excellent! I am working on mine. I am going to have some extra time tomorrow to devote to it, as well, woo!! Groovy! Have fun! Cheers and much enjoyment,
Autumn Jade

Hi. Thanks for the ‘likes’ and for following my blog. Now I have to decide – to follow you for the photography or from my alter ego for your prose and poetry. No matter, either will do.
There is nothing wrong with a little salty residue. Those little details are the ones that stand out the most.
Great blog from what i’ve seen so far!
Such a beautiful blog Jade! I love the atmosphere you manage to capture with your photos, and how well the poetry and prose works with the photos. I’m looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you so much! I greatly enjoy your blog and look forward to much more! Vitative cheers,
Autumn Jade
Thanks a lot for visiting my blog, that helped me discover your fabulous images.

Thank you for visiting my blog so … I am very amazed with your work here …
So nice to be in contact. I am glad you found the blog where I write about photography….now I know about your blog, and intend to spend some time wanderering thru your words and images as I get to know about you
AJ,
So good of you to drizzle….uh….deluge over at my homestead in the great land of Blogington, WP. Looking foward to sitting by the pixels with you again and again.

What a gorgeous blog! There’s so much wonderfulness here! The photos are amazing. Your poetry and prose equally so.

“ahoy!” means “hello!” in Czech… 🙂

bonjour & merci for dropping by my playground… cheers! 🙂 Mélanie
Aloha Mélanie. Greetings and welcome.
That is brilliant! I love the word “ahoy.” I employ it constantly. I especially like to bugle it at surfers when they are squinting at me, wondering what sort of creature I am- is it a seal, a whale, a TURTLE? Then I bellow, “AHOY!” and the matter is all cleared up. Then I quickly fin away.
Bonjour. Thank you for drizzling by my blog as well. I hope you liked the visit. I will certainly be coming back to your blog. An absolute delight. Merci.
Autumn Jade
