“The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea” Isak Dinesen

Seaside (Daily Photo)

Midday sun
High in the sky
Expecting lots of fun
When learning to fly

A bookcase is as good as a view, as much of a panorama as the sight of a city or a river. There are dawns and sunsets in books – storms and zephyrs” Anatole Broyard

Panorama

Through the peep hole
The hidden cove
A real treasure trove
My poor little heart stole

Sunrise in the warmest of hue
Reflected against the coolest of blue
Another day begins anew

“Many a calm river begins as a turbulent waterfall, yet none hurtles and foams all the way to the sea” Mikhail Lermontov

7 Days of Nature Photo Challenge: Day Six

In the far away land
Where ever your camera pans
Seashores covered with sand
Mountains tall will stand
The bluest of seas command
What could be more grand

A sunny day in June
The sea and sky, painted in blue
A view reserved, only for a few

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water” Rabindranath Tagore

7 Days of Nature Photo Challenge: Day One: On the Rocks

Against the smoothed rocks
Is the water happily splashing
High in the air go flying my crocks
When I’m barefoot in the sand dashing

Close to the water’s edge
I once again my allegiance pledge
Wowing, this year my toe to dip
Even if it means biting the lip

Come high hell or cold water
Because it may never get hotter
In the ocean I will swim
Even if my eyesight will dim

After all, it is Spring Time!
