Don't Touch My Tide

My life is like a stroll upon the beach. - Thoreau

violins weeping

blaring trumpets announcing

toxic seas seeping

Author's Note

"The seashore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is hard to forget that which it is worse than useless to remember." - Thoreau

Pete,
When I lived in south Florida and went to the beach, sometimes the sand was so hot, and wide if you didn't wear some foot protection it was quite terrifying... especially if you were carrying an afternoon's worth of supplies and fishing equipment...

I miss the salt like I cannot even tell you...

[Pete]

we've got plenty of salt on our roads up here right now - makes our cars white.

Pete,
Pensacola Beach used tp post signs along the roadway that said "Please call a tow truck before you park on the shoulder," the whitest sand in the world is also quite soft...

Amazing wisdom in few lines

The ocean is a graveyard to many a shipwreck and a multitude of drowned lives. Sad, thoughtful and layered.

"We should consider that the flow of thought is more like a tidal wave than a prone river, and is the result of a celestial influence, not of any declivity in its channel." - thoreau

[Patricia Wedel]

[Patricia Wedel]

The Salt Lake Air is Good for your Health. Amen... Pat

This reminds me of the alerts they give in the summer about the red algae in the ocean that is toxic

[Pete]

[Poetic Beauty]
