Saturday


BJ's Shadorma and Beyond  353/375
Mindlove'smisery Menangerie



shrieks and squeals
king tides giant waves
what great fun

young and old
flounder in salted white froth
everyone's smiling


home at last
the cricket chirrups
in the dark


bricks still warm
mint and basil scent the night's
potato salad

    1. Thank you...not nostalgic....this is how and where I spent Saturday at Bronte Beach. The surf was closed due to dangerous cross currents so had to use the pool.

    2. Sorry that was badly put. It invoked nostalgia in me mainly because I can't do that anymore.

  4. I've never tried potato salad with mint before. It sounds like an odd combination, but apparently some people enjoy it!

  5. The sounds of the cricket and the smell of the herbs are a perfect end to a holiday.
