asked to arrange
the flowers in a vase
I put them in any which way-
so glad there are some things
which can’t go wrong

back and forth
the shimmering life
at the tide line…

 

 

gulls in sunset surf at Roger Wheeler Park- Rhode Island
Rhode Island sunrise on the beach by Anchor Motel...
seaside at Roger Wheeler State Beach- Rhode Island-
Rhode Island time it takes to find a peace of mind somewhere...
Rhode Island fishing trawler...
seaside surf line at Rhode Island -Roger Wheeler Beach...
walking the surf line in Rhode Island...
gold surf wash...
touched with light
Roger Wheeler State Beach near Point Judith Lighthouse 5-20-15.
sunset afterglow at Roger Wheeler State Beach near Point Judith Lighthouse 5-20-15
sunset afterglow at Roger Wheeler State Beach near Point Judith Lighthouse 5-20-15...
fishing boat in the Narragansett area in Rhode Island from a visit at this time of year in 2015 ...
surf line -Scarborough Beach, Rhode Island... May 2015 -
fog was almost dripping in Galilee ... Rhode Island
chain dripping a thick fog which made for a great atmosphere to explore the docks of Point Judith-Galilee 5-31-15
bird with a bit of sunset in the surf
sunset gold just before night takes it away...
walking the surf line...
ebbing light scenes along the surf-tide line at Roger Wheeler State Beach- 5-20-15
Berta leaving tracks in the Rhode Island beach sand strolling along listening to waves and shorebirds and nothingness...5-20-15...
