Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress

On Twitter, er, X, the user @Bleu_Owl posts a daily prompt “Haiku Challenge”. Today’s prompt is “wave”. The above is my contribution. I hope you enjoy it!
glorious sunlight
with the blessings of springtime
life upon the shore
I took this photo while walking along the shore near my home. It is one of my favorite places. I hope you got to enjoy your day.
Edits made with Adobe Spark. Photo take with my Samsung S9.
the sun’s descent
behind the mountains
into the sea
I took this photo at Marina Beach, along the Edmonds waterfront earlier this week. It’s one of my favorite place on earth.
Shot with my Samsung S9, I’m quite amazed at the quality of images that I get from my phone. I also wonder how much better my photos would be if I used a better phone, or, egads, an actual camera.

cold wind blowing from the west
brilliant colors sing
My contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Sand. I, being me, opt for a haiku.
memories of sand
I love the smell of the beach
the winds from the west
tide moves against sand
with air dancing upon waves
heron’s patient stealth
I’m facing westwards
And mountains cover the sun
A sweet summer night
This one was fun to make. It makes me quite happy.
Listen to the surf
The wave’s eternal motion
Lulling me to sleep
The sun stretches me
Solar motion elongates
Sun in brutal cold
Walking along the Edmonds Waterfront. With the strong wind from the north, the air was brisk, cold. Bright and sunny later in the day, which made our mid-afternoon walk much more pleasant.
