CASHMERE GREY ~ RYTHM & CERULEAN BLUES ~ DEEP MANDARIN ORANGE


My day!
My sandy, driftwoody, bouldery 
24 hours on the beach ~


run the colour spectrum 
from soft muteds to rich exuberants


 Right now I'm helping my new friend
who just happens to be ruddy red
offsetting the soft greys of the ocean and sky


the titch of baby blue streaks across in the distance
as the lone surfer waits patiently
(oh my they do have patience)


swooping past like aerial artistes
these birds dive-bomb 
looking for insects
before heading south


Then from out of nowhere
the blues
grab your attention and draw you in even further.


 More birds clamour for position 
with lift off and landing gears
ready at any moment.


My life on the beach erupts into more JOY
than I could ever imagine


as the vibrancy of reds and oranges 
reflect Mr. Orangie,
making it so much easier to see him
and to zero point snag him
once again.


I trot towards the sun
expecting but a brief moment of
"Ooohs and Aaaahs"
from the onlookers.


"Come on along!"
This is one of those times 
that you can feel the colours
feel them coursing through your veins. 


Thanks so again for putting up
with my DOODLE NONSENSE.
It does take plenty of us to make the world go 'round.
