A Plunge in Crab Cove

 

 Little Laughing Sally

...

After posting image captures the events

 of several weeks ago on Monday

 I felt an urge to return

and to go further than before

 The tide returns me to Crab Cove

 Think I'll get a little large myself

on my own bev-mo of choice

 Does this stuff even exist

anymore?

 So it's back in the cove

High noon and high tide

total immersion this time

 Went in wearing my boxer shorts

then sat in them to dry,

No one comes this far 

when the tide is up

Felt so great, so cheering

something primordial reached,

Wee bit chill for me

so it was fairly in and out

shorebirds line jetty

fixed-wing pelicans come in

standing room only

 The Sea and the stones

a language of their own

 Two great pelicans

toboggan past in tandem

summer olympics

the  receding tide
wavelet passes over rocks

 a summer goes by

Sometimes a hermit

I will admit,

Sometimes a crab

but just a bit

  Pods coming on strong

 California

  a vast jam session of trees

 Neighborhood conspiracy

to make passers-by feel suspect

Ha-ha, crooks drive cars

 I have a new mind

the sea inside

...sleepy now...

There's always refreshment

 A walk on the wild side

Not tonight, Jail-bait

Sugar soda got a sin tax

 

I think I'll
take the first conveyance

homeward

 I'm still a bit at sea

 As sea and sky 

begin to marbleize

 The day began to slant

into the sundown

 Transitional clouds

foreshadow September

Toward  radiance
