teasing our hair
and licking our skin..
the salt heavy air
filled inflated lungs
and the breaking
waves were
ear candy..
So even with
the tickle of sand
in crevasses unknown,
the life noir
still reigned
over all..

Thoughts from the Outdoors 
Got carried away completely…I can smell salty air, hear the waves and there is nothing noir in my head everything very vivid after all 🙂
Like poem and photo
I’m glad you took a vacation for free!! thank you!!
Hahahaha thank you for taking me on free vacation… you are welcome to do it again anytime :))))))) i was not sure if I may jump in this water or something will bite me? Wish to take a swim its pretty hot in this part of the planet 😉
Well…you could swim there…We were wading and fishing :))
well then I’ll jump in just step back cause you’ll be all wet 😉 Sounds like you guys had fun 🙂
yes we did 🙂
So glad 🙂
Beautiful, I’m so there when I read the poem and look at the picture!
:)) It’s quite the nice location:)) Thank you, Donna
Ahh. The beach! Sand between my toes and all over my stuff. Getting at least 3 shades darker even with sunscreen/sunblock. Dry wrinkly face. Hot. Humid. Unending thirst. Yet, I still come back for more. Next time I’m going protected. in a space suit.
Hahahahahhaha. That pretty much sums up that place lol :)))
Excellent way to take your reader with you on this sun soaking salty advenure David. ‘Sand in crevices unknown…’. How transformative that line is…. Can feel it :). Love the image s well– nice one!!! 🙂
:))). Yes and that sand is a bit annoying:). Our hair was really spiky that day:)
🙂 all part of it! Gotta love it then!
:))) absolutely:))) hello Robyn:)
smiles back David~~
:))
It’s true. The beach can be a love despite the sand flies, sand where it’s not wanted, and sunburns. Nothing is perfect I guess. Hope you’re well today.
Sand flies. Shudder. We call them noseeums here. No see ums lol. The most annoying insect ever:). I’m doing well. How about you?
lol…well, we have ‘noseeums’ too…in the forests…they attack unseen and next thing you know you are bleeding, literally, they take out chunks when they bite, and you never felt or saw a thing…creepy little suckers that are invisible..sand flies are just annoying..lol.Now that I’m having coffee…I’m surviving.
such a variety of biting insects all over lol…and I will go experience some in a swamp very soon lol. enjoy your coffee
🙂
Ooh la, la….I found this one sexy! lol Obviously I’m in a better mood. Very sensual and visual, and matches the photo and experience of beach perfectly. Very effective, Sir D. Can’t wait to wade in the waters in CA in one week. Hugs and wink. Sam of the sea
Yay…This was at the entry to the gulf…so warmer water…But you get the waves:))) nice:))
Um, more please. Very good David. Very good.
lol…I’m glad you enjoyed Renee))))
Looks like you had a wonderful holiday. Everyone needs a break once in awhile.
Yes we did…the breeze really took a bite off the humidity:))
David, as always very very nice! Picture and poem!
I always liked black and white images!
Have a great day, David! Be blessed with a beautiful life! 🙂
I’m a big fan of black and white too!! gives a mystical look:)) Have the best day Stefania:))))
Yes a beautiful film, one so vivid and dreamy where one can lay back and rest easy. 😀
yes..My kind of movie after a stressful day:))))
nice words..Did you take this photo? It is really lovely
Yes…I took it on saturday at Ft. Desoto FL :)))))
Ah yes, lust on the beach is rarely as sexy as in the movies. But fun to try.
The movies definitely have their own set of rules:). Thank you:))
