Hirtle's Beach

Where doubts dissolve and roads disband, there lies a quiet crescent beach to crown the sea with golden sand. A breath beyond the city's reach, where waves recede like moving glass, there lies a quiet crescent beach. When evening fades and stars amass, the silver sky consumes the sea where waves recede like moving glass. When moonlight skims the tallest tree through wisps of fog and fragrant mist, the silver sky consumes the sea. Along the shore where waves persist, the sunrise melts through violet clouds, through wisps of fog and fragrant mist. The sky discards its gauzy shrouds where doubts dissolve and roads disband. The sunrise melts through violet clouds to crown the sea with golden sand.

I find terzanelle to be one of the most difficult forms that I've only done it once. You make it look so easy! The repetition really emphasize the images. A weekend at the beach is heaven for me.

Yes, we are very fortunate. If you check out my photos on Facebook I have some photos of Tofino which are quite stunning. There is much natural beauty here in BC.

Thanks, Rick! It's my favourite beach in the world - located in Nova Scotia (where I spent summers as a kid). You must have amazing beaches on the west coast.
