Dark rocks stand guard by the sea. Before the morning comes to be. A distant tower shines so bright. Piercing through the pre-dawn night. The waking sky begins to glow. Upon the quiet waves below. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

Golden clouds adorn the sky. Where gentle waters softly lie. Smooth stones rest in a misty light. Shining bright and waiting for night. Peaceful shores in a twilight grace. A calming beauty in this very place. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

The sun dips low in a golden blaze. Painting the sea in a fiery haze. A sentinel rock so silent and lone. Rises from water on ancient stone. The ocean ripples a shimmering sheet. Reflecting the sunset a sight so sweet. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

Wild waves crash high along the shore. While a family stands to watch for more. A dad and two children very small. Stand before the ocean's mighty wall. They gaze into the churning spray. And watch the wild waves crash away. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

A lone figure walks the golden way. Beneath a sky of dramatic display. The sea and clouds are vast and wide. With nowhere left for me to hide. The lighthouse towers tall and steep. Over tiny man and the waters deep. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

Upon the rippled golden sand. A lighthouse stands to guard the land. The sunset casts a warm soft gleam. Beside a calm and quiet stream. Its beacon shines so bright and clear. To guide the weary sailors clear. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

Through tangled stalks of shadowy green. A sudden glow begins to lean. Past blades of grass that hide the night. The forest shifts to golden light. A quiet spark in shadows deep. Where dreaming nature wakes from sleep. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

Dark cliffs embrace the ocean's crest. As golden fire lights up the sea. The tired day sinks down to rest. While tide pools mirror majesty. A distant tower guards the deep. As shadows softly fall asleep. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

Dawn paints the sky in red and gold. As day awakens, calm and bold. The lighthouse stands to greet the day. While clouds catch fire along the way. The rocky shore reflects the light. And morning turns the dark to bright. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

And all of the stars in the night are gleaming. To the pulse of the ocean below. And I'm caught in the drift of the dreaming. Where the rivers of eternity flow. While the light of the morning is seeming. Like the warmth of a fire in the snow. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

Upon a blade of vibrant green. A tiny insect rests unseen. Surrounded by a leafy sea. It perches calm and wild and free. In emerald light so cool and bright. It waits to take its next grand flight. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

A lone walker on the wet sand. As sunlight touches all the land. Reflections shimmer in the tide. With nowhere left for night to hide. Two more appear against the glow. A peaceful morning we start to know. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

This is me! And all the world in the dark is sleeping. To the rhythm of ticking away. And I'm quietly watching and keeping. The ghosts of the worries at bay. While the hush of midnight is creeping. Only hours now till the dawning of day. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

You me a butterfly and a bee. Walking in the forest touching every tree. Flowers all around us colours very bright. Bathing in the golden afternoon light. We whisper sweet secrets to the open breeze. We dance through shadows under quivering leaves. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

We all want to beat the shit out of Trump, but we have to give him credit for two great things. 1. He has brought Europe together like never before. 2. He made Canada spread its wings and fly.

The dark sky looms and the ocean roars. A massive wave explodes on shores. White fury crashes salt spray flies. Where an ancient rugged rock face lies. In chaos born a fleeting form. The primal power of the storm. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

Upon a tender and thorny stem. Perches the woodland's little gem. With throat wide open and beak apart. It sings its sweet and trilling heart. Against a deep and leafy green. This feathered wonder can be seen. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

A glowing sun of amber gold. Pours fire across the quiet sea. As ancient rocks in shadows hold. A world in silent majesty. The fading day begins to rest. Upon the water's glassy crest. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

Golden light on Everglades reed. White wings gather taking heed. Wading birds in the wetlands gleam. All floating in a sunlit dream. Tall green stalks conceal the rest. Nature's embrace at its very best. #Everglades #Florida #Birds #Photography #Poem

Upon the rugged, darkened shore. Three little birds stand side by side. They watch the crashing breakers roar. Against the cliff at eventide. The misty spray begins to gleam. Beneath a soft and glowing beam. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

Beneath a stormy twilight sky. The lonely angler casts his line. The rolling waves crash softly by. Where fading sun and shadows twine. He waits upon the rugged shore. To hear the ocean's steady roar. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

Stormy skies paint the sand. A sculpted mossy rocky strand. Rupture skies of a purple hue. Reflect upon the waters blue. Distant figures walk the shore Listening to the ocean's roar. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

The tide lay hushed on sand so still. We waited quiet to get our fill. Each shallow pool held clouds asleep. Their mirrored grey both soft and deep. The sky waited long before it broke. Then amber light through morning spoke. The sun rose bright the night was done. The beach now bathed in early sun.

Golden skies ablaze with light. Chase the fading day from sight. Mossy stones embrace the tide. Where the restless waves collide. A lone walker treads the rocky shore. Listening to the water's roar. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

Cobalt tides reflect the cooling skies. Where silent glowing shadows rise. Distant lights on shore begin to gleam. And mirror softly in the tranquil stream. The fading blue dissolves the weary day. As quiet twilight slowly claims the bay. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

are y'all tired of #creeks, #rivers, & #wilderness yet? that would be a bummer, coz I'm still gonna post them. #WaterfallWednesday #WildernessWednesday #waterfalls

Leavitt Falls on Leavitt Creek in California on the east side of the Sierra along Hwy 108. the terrain is very steep and heavily forested. the creek starts off the SE slope of Leavitt Peak from Leavitt Lake then empties into the West Walker River down in Leavitt Meadows. the West Walker merges with the East Walker in Nevada to become the Walker River which empties into the terminal Walker Lake.
so this creek begins from a lake and ends up in another one, never reaching the sea.

Fiery skies ignite the sea. Where ancient beacons stand so free. The rugged pier runs down the shore. To meet the waters calm once more. In sunset's glow the tower gleams. A silent guardian of our dreams. #photography #photos #poems #art #poetry

A blazing sun dips low to sleep. Over silent waters dark and deep. Upon the isle the beacon stands. A lonely light across the sands. The golden grasses kiss the air. In twilight's calm beyond compare. #photography #photos #poems #art

Wild waves crash on ancient stone. Where an untamed ocean claims its own. Seaweed clings to the rocky shore. While distant beacons guide the pour. Beneath the stormy brooding sky. The lonely waters crash and sigh.

Golden light upon the shore, Smooth stones rest where breakers roar. Amber hues of fading day, Tide and time drift far away. Quiet sands in twilight gleam. Caught within a peaceful dream. #photography #photo #sunset #beach

Day’s final sigh across the painted deep. While amber waves on sandy margins creep. A molten sun dissolves within the dark. Igniting every ripple, lighting every spark. A fleeting vision cast in golden flames. The twilight hour that the ocean claims.

Dark clouds amass a sombre screen. Above a shore of shifting green. The waves below a restless sheen. Where light and shadow paint the scene. Upon the sand, the tide's clean sweep. A timeless beauty calm and deep.

Golden embers kiss the cresting tide. Where skies and whispering waters bide. A fiery path upon the swelling sea. Brings fleeting peace and majesty. The ocean bathes in amber light. Before the quiet veil of night.

A blue light across the sky. The sun descends a cooling sigh. The ocean's breath a soft embrace. On ancient sand it finds its place. A distant light is a guiding hand. For all who travel sea and land.

The fiery sun sinks low and deep. As ocean waters fall asleep. In pools of gold upon the shore. The light shines bright forevermore. Dark stones rest still upon the sand. To welcome night across the land.
