Sara Kendrick's Grounding Contest ~ 12/8/24

dark skies overhead
the tide rolling in
sand dunes and sea grass
nimbus moving near
distant lightning bolts


wind in my hair
a sudden chill
sand under foot
anxiety

thunder's roar
gulls squawking
waves crashing

the sea
fresh air

salt

Lin, you're making me remember some of the times I've spent on the shore with a thunderstorm in the vicinity. It's amazing how we can get that anxious feeling all of a sudden. You touch on some of the most striking feelings and sensations. Smiles.

Quite a spectacular scene Lin, rain or shine the sea and shore always seems to draw you in. And that taste of salt on your lips from the spray. Good luck. Tom
