Easter Bayshore Holiday Part One






 Rejoice






1.
Easter Sunday



Guess where I am




If you guessed Alameda...
A tree uniting all



So cute and bungaloid




Fascinating flora



2.
God's golden shore


 


First stop the bird pond
Where it was all go,
All about mating



Seagulls kick up a ruckus
Folks throwing them food,
Don't think they are supposed to




Ducks are adamant
The coot had to scoot




There's the beach,
Not many brave the on-shore breeze



There's the water,








Up here with the gulls
and the kites





Oh happy day





Checking out the local hangs




Today's expedition selects
As it's far point
That pointy point of land



 

The big winter bird population
Has split by now




What they do?
Father forgive them they know not,
How I admired this great cypress
Growing right on the shore


 

I move on
Delightful Arabic girls
Explore the bright beach scene
They are well-behaved and respectful



My proverbial Marine lunch
They even gave us blue tablecloths today
Of course the wind has other ideas,
Raisins, candied ginger,
"Girl Scout Cookies"



My nearest neighbor,
New green branches
Ever tossing in the wind



The Arabic women and girls
Sit together in the grass
The men sit at another table,
Wonder if they are Christian




Nutrient rich bay,
Benign sunshine



I come to my point



Young able-bodied people
Turn back



Not me, baby
I go out on the rocks



I sit out on the water





Fisherman gets lucky
Three fish on one line





Shiny new hand-railing 
Installed this Winter
On the submarine walkway



Think I'll doff me boots,
Carry them in my knapsack




Time for my walk-on-the-water routine,
And so I do
