Watching The Sun On The Bay…
Early morning and a blue sky mottled white by small clouds
Was lit by welcomed warm June sunshine over Mounts Bay.
The sea wall, dry and stark above a receding tide,
Revealed a plethora of cruel, rocky outcrops lying in wait
And I sat upon a step to take in the ocean and the sun, bright within its shrouds…
A seal lounged upon St Clement’s Island, its head raised
As a gull flew busily past and the tide’s white spray danced nearby.
Along the rugged sea wall a rock pipit perched and posed
For my eager camera, eyes alert, its call shrill before it dropped to the shore,
As I tarried upon the step, relishing the ocean and feeling inexorably amazed…

A beautiful scene…
