Photo taken by me @ Ocean Beach in San Francisco.
Ethereal Beach Walk
He walks among saltwater sea tears
skimming forgotten footprints
eroding the shore.
Translucent silver jewels
reflect the sun
forming crystalline memories.
Child's play echoes off turquoise depths
and thunderous wavelengths
cleansing high tide.
He hears, sees and feels
clinging as a barnacle to shore
buried as a sand dollar
beyond footprints.

Hey I have an offer for you ... would you be willing to write a guest blog entry for my blog (with links back to yours here) about how to take good pictures of animals?
Let me know if you're interested and I'll fill you in on the details.

This is completely gorgeous!
The waves break into laughter as the clouds clown. ~ bangchik

Bang, Ooh, I like that and should add it to the verse. Thank you.
Chuck, Thanks so much.
Would you like to take some pictures of the Margiesdales laying on that beach?
Margie, How about I lay with them while you take the photos?
Beautiful words and image. It's been a long time since I've walked on a beach, this brings back memories.
i can almost see the words come alive and become intertwined with the sea. well-done =]
Joanne - very, very nice. I love the banner and the photoscapes too.
Diane, Aw, I think I would go a little nutty or at least nuttier than I already am not being able to walk along the beach.
ian, Very nice comment, thanks so much ian.

Davao, thanks so much for reading and commenting.
VS, yes it is so tranquil. Thank you.
Karen, Aw, thank you :)
Jennifer, I have to say I am spoiled living here. Thanks for dropping by.
A beautiful, peaceful spot and lovely words to go with it. When I drive this stretch of highway it is usually at this time of year when only a few hardy souls are out on the sand. Sometimes Hubby and I will stop and enjoy the solitude.
Thank you Martha. This is actually my favorite time to be out there. While it's beautiful to get shots while it's sunny with blue skies, my favorite time is in the fog. It's just gorgeous. Isn't it fun to just stop out there and enjoy the waves?
I looked at the photo first, and I just had to stop and examine it longer. The poem enhanced the exact mood I had from looking at this great picture.
nice poem & photo, Jo! you are so poetic, i ran out of words to say. :)
Very nice photo and poem and they went together perfectly.
oooooohhhhhh!!!! and sand dollars are my most favorite things!!!!!! :D :D

Lovely photo when Ocean Beach is not crowded. The poem is spectacular.
Thanks to all of you for your kind words and comments.
