A walk along the beach

Edmonds Beach
passing by the shore
water's motion over sand
seagulls shout "hello"

A winter’s day

my finger’s coldness
walking in the gentle rain
winter progresses

Beach in Autumn


cold wintery air 
walking over sunlit sand
freedom from the wind

Sunlight on the Sand

The Edmonds beach

sunlight on the sand 
warmth flowing upon my face
as the rains approach

Blessings of Springtime

glorious sunlight
with the blessings of springtime
life upon the shore

I took this photo while walking along the shore near my home. It is one of my favorite places. I hope you got to enjoy your day.

Edits made with Adobe Spark. Photo take with my Samsung S9.

the sunโ€™s descent
behind the mountains
into the sea

I took this photo at Marina Beach, along the Edmonds waterfront earlier this week. It’s one of my favorite place on earth.

Shot with my Samsung S9, I’m quite amazed at the quality of images that I get from my phone. I also wonder how much better my photos would be if I used a better phone, or, egads, an actual camera.

cold wind blowing from the west
brilliant colors sing

A Haiku Response To The Word of the Day Challenge

My contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Sand. I, being me, opt for a haiku.

memories of sand
I love the smell of the beach
the winds from the west

Tide Against Sand


tide moves against sand

with air dancing upon waves
