A beautiful friendship

They dance on shimmering sands
Their sun-kissed limbs glistening in the fading sun
Their limbs entwine

A friendship of old

Renewed on a foreign shore 

Laughing, they frolic in the waves
Hair flying, caught by sea spray
As if carried by unseen mischievous nymphs
 
Their joy is palpable
Their faces alive

And they share a beautiful friendship

That is pure gold!

For Alexandra and Maddy with love Frannie xx

    You appear to have captured these two with an invisible camera, so carefree is their manner, not bothered by the photographer. Love this series!

    I feel they could be sisters from another life so alike they are in beauty and expression. Perhaps they are? Love

    The test of a true friendship can be distance, alot like relationships.
    May these two beautiful girls always be able to take up where they left off despite their differences and the miles between them.
    Thankyou for this beautiful post.

    Thank you all so much for your wonderful response to this Beautiful Friendship. I have watched these two beauties blossom and grow in their own different ways in different cities, but they pick up where they left off without missing a beat, no matter the days in between. I wish the same for you and thank you for your friendship. I look forward to picking up where we left off – somewhere on a distance shore maybe. You make my life SO much richer. F xx
