Lively Ocean

Crane Beach, Ipswich, Massachusetts


Along deep snow and ice balls there is the Ocean.

 Bluish and fluid,

  as if not troubled by this wintry freezing.

 

 Nor are the sea ducks.

 Being carried out by the tides and then flying back.


   Again and again.


 Just in time 

   to enjoy 

 this amusing interplay between the birds and the Ocean... 

Crane Beach: ... sparkly frozen...

Crane Beach: ... along deep snow...

Crane Beach: ... there is the ocean...

Crane Beach: ... bluish and lively, not troubled by this wintry freezing...

Crane Beach: ... nor are they...

Crane Beach: ... being carried out by the tides and then flying back...

Crane Beach: ... in a splash...

Crane Beach: ... flowing with the ocean...

Crane Beach: ... just in time...

Crane Beach: ... for the story...

Crane Beach: ... to unfold...

Crane Beach: ... while the loon takes a nap...

Crane Beach: ... where blue ad white meet...

Crane Beach: ... is it the one or the other?...
