A misty haze filled the sky
a mist made of smoke
humidity
and sprinkled rain
the sun rose from the Pacific
as usual
eager to pierce through the gauzy veil
Walking today
down the wide swathe of foreshore
the high tide nibbling our ankles
to the Headland of the National Park
where dogs are given free reign
to run and scamper chase and swim
without restraint
the persistent sun finds a portal
a misty sky is pierced
however temporarily
and the world below remains
That may have been an energetic interlude for the dogs, but it was a calming stroll for me!
ReplyDeletelovely!
ReplyDeleteI think mist always adds such mystery and nuance - we rarely get it at altitude. (Of course, we aren't anywhere near a huge body of water, either.) Those pups will need a good spraying off at home! Keep cool, Delwyn!
ReplyDeletedelwyn! these photographs (esp. 3 and 9) are stunning!!! the words are so quiet and the massive overwhelming silver of the water and sky almost shouts it's so clear and full!!! so very very beautiful. steven
ReplyDeleteHi,Delwyn.
ReplyDeleteThey are very beautiful photos.
Sky looks very dramatic! I like those
footprints on the beach!Are they yours?

Hi, Delwyn! Dogs need a way to cool them off in summer. I’d like to see them swimming wild. Strangely, the less colorful, the more powerful the sky looks. The view of the metallic looking sea and the light radiating through the cleft in the cloud is awesome. Here in Nara, misty morning promises sunny day in the daytime.
