A froth of ocean slaps
at the shoreline
winds pushing

foghorn blasts in the bay.

Forest silhouettes salute
a twin-peaked cabin

footsteps in the sand as
misty outlines on the beach

seagulls swooping with
lasting messages

peek-a-boo driftwood smooth

sand and seaweed
clumped in salty disarray.

Thank you so much Esther. This spot is near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, where the Bluenose schooner was built. Bluenose 111 is almost finished for this tourist season. It is built exactly to specifications to Bluenose 1, the fastest schooner in the world and it won every race. In fact it is the picture on most Canadian dimes. Cheers, Richard

scratch, one day you should come to Nova Scotia. But then, you already must have seen Scotland, they say it's the same as here. Best regards to you and my writing friends. Richard
