    ah, the bird!

  2. I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
    And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
    And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
    And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

    I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
    Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
    And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
    And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

    I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
    To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
    And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
    And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

    this photograph brought a touch of nostalgia
    to me..I was reminded of my first trip to Florida & in particular, South Beach in 1950…Perhaps, it was the lifeguard’s “chair”…but I appreciate the moment of reflection..thanks Sam elayne

Traveling in Florida last winter, I photographed both sunrise and sunset in Miami Beach. I found myself attracted to the colorful lifeguard houses on the beach and shot a whole series; this may be the best. (Photograph Taken February 2012)
