Beachwalking

I walk barefoot on the beach Where the water greets the land. Waves with their wet fingers reach, Then retreat from where I stand. White foam fizzles on the sand. I pick up some rocks and shells, Watch the shorebirds dive and fly As the ocean ebbs and swells, Plovers skitter, seagulls cry, Soundless pelicans glide by. 8/3/2017

Love the imagery. Wishing I was dipping my feet into that beach sand right about now. I haven't had a chance yet this summer to go to the beach. Agnes this is a wonderful piece. :)

Thanks, Anne-Lise. Yes, I have quite a collection which, somehow, has to be transported back home.

This a winner for me Agnes! You describe the scene with such realism you transported me there! Lovely! : )
