[04/05/19 North Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, Trefin]

Evening golden sunlight,
sharp keen sea wind,
wander down to the cliff path,
bright blue sea,
sunshine sparkling on rolling crashing waves,
gentle booming sound.
Spring squill appearing dotted in the short turf
and spreads of pink and white on the walls,
(thrift and sea campion),
as we approach the descent to the cove,
scent of seaweed on the salty breeze,
and evening shadows on the glinting grass:
refreshed.

What a descriptive snap shot of the sea and its natural surroundings. I love the way you've included sound in this, the gentle booming, also the scent - of seaweed and of course the coastal flowers so beautiful at this time of year.

Thank you, Jane. Yes, all the senses – the sharpness of the sea salty wind felt on the face too! – 'blowing the cobwebs away'! Rhiannon

This one is gorgeous too! In so few words so much richness, I felt I had been there too. Thankyou so much for posting. I will want to read this over and over

Are you on holiday?

Thank you, and yes, we are on a week's holiday. My husband, especially, needed a rest. We love these cliff paths in May with the flowers beginning to come out. Yesterday a little rain, and so a quieter day, but still the lovely countryside around. Rhiannon
