Coronado
Read MoreSeemingly Simple
Coronado, California--
a last moment with the sand
non-descript
notice--for a moment
there is a story
forget the past present and future
footprints
shoe prints
gull prints
abstract shapes drawn by passing
shadows by a morning sun
the wonder of a million plus years
one thing of then another
it can be here for those who wonder
for those who take the time to see
for today--now
this journey ends, but yet another begins
the sand will remain

Dance of the Sunset Pipers
Coronado, California--
quiet sunset surf
together the pipers dance
ebb flow of the heart

Coronado, California--
not every image has to be clear
the softness of the water provokes the moment of waves
the blur of the wings captures the moment of flight
this image is clearer than the moment we watched it happen

2017-12-05-EOS-6103 - Version 2Beach Trails
Coronado, California--
beach dunes
beach trails
bringing those in common
together

Hotel del Coronado, Coronado, California--
place of magic
intrigue
movies ghosts and lovers
it was here before most things
almost lost
but the sand becomes the yellow brick road
marks of the present versus the past
enchantment and mystery endure

Coronado, California--
unknown from where they came
a different journey
different experiences
but for this moment neighbors

Coronado, California--
could sit here all day
western sun
eastward wind
within the company of memories
living and enjoying this moment

2017_12_04_IMG_0187_editGhost Ship
Coronado, California--
washed upon the shore
owner unknown
origin unknown
abandoned and never claimed
sand claiming her now
left to endure the fate of the tides
a home for that that grows below
she alone holds the story and
the memory of its owner's voices
while others in the distance continue
