Esperance foreshoreEsperance foreshoreEsperance foreshore

White silica sands and clear calm waters
Watched, wind, wavelettes and wild flowers

Waves, no, rather riplettes,
Swish onto white sandy shore,
A hush, barely a murmor,
Then receding to sea once more.
Yet the sea scape intrigues,
Dark blue of the channels deep,
Bright turquoise in the shallows
Where silica returns the suns rays.

But as I dream, drinking the view,
I sense dark eyes are watching.
Every move noted,every thought assessed,
Who is this that has entered paradise?
Ah, 'tis one who loves the sea,
One who loves creation's splendour,
One who shoots only with lense,
Recording in image the glory of life.

Those eyes have reason to question,
For they have witnessed man's relentless intrusion.
Tall towers with rotating blades that mame,
Erected to provide electric power?
Who needs that? For they can fly,
Yes hundreds of miles thay rove,
Feasting on natures supply.
They care not for microwaves,
Or flat screens that our walls adorn.

Yet under those tall rotating towers,
Tiny wild flowers burst into song,
Their music is measured in lightwaves,
Bright colours, subtle tones,
Most every colour of the rainbow,
These wild flowers care not for gadgets,
But rejoice as they colour our days.

Hi Travellers, Just checked your blog and see the views of Esperance sea line and the wild flowers. Came out well and enjoyed your comment with the pix. Trust the weather is letting up and you can shoot north for a look. Pretty warm over here and muggy so there is always something to whing about no matter where you are as far as the weather is concerned. Happy tripping and love from Us 2 Choughers
