Pansy Shells On Pismo Beach

sun sets graciously on gentle horizon kissing silky damp beach goodnight shades of mauve and salmon rose as waves lap soft blue sighs skylight dusk illuminates iridescent white fragile flowers resting on sand bouquets that shower shore as countless pansy shells crown land (Inspired by our recent trip down California/ Pacific drive-- Pismo is half way between 'Frisco' and L/A-- I was overwhelmed by this sunset walk and the hundreds of white pansy shells scattered on the sand--perfect flowers engraved on them reflecting God's amazing creation) © December 2013-Kim van Breda

Simply beautiful but until you have walked on Scarborough beach in Yorkshire , The men with string vests , Their trousers legs rolled up and wearing a knotted hanky on their heads , The ladies with their dresses tucked in their bloomers as they paddle. You just haven't lived.
