Broken
Broken Bedazzled by intensely tinted deck, Resplendent splash that hides too well the stains Of decades overrun with sad neglect, Knocking, cracking, warning ever plain. E‘en deadly risk ignored by… Continue Reading “Broken”
Treasure Trove
Like rarest gems they glisten; sparkling, strewn in foam, Set in grains of sand. Photo Friday: The Beach
Summer Solstice
Chameleons under foot race in-between umbrellas, raised to shield from blinding light, Each detail planned ahead, a perfect scene, Nothing left to chance, all viewpoints right.

Sculpted Sand
Sun-slaked sand welcomes the onrush of wet, cool, ocean waves. All too soon, the water recedes, leaving only damp creases in its wake.
