BEACH MUSINGS



Path of sunset gold
Beckons long legged waders
Hunting for treasure.

Took a walk along the shore in
Del Mar recently and happened
to hit it at sunset on an unusual
evening where there was an actual
sun to witness an actual setting.
Overcast skies have been embracing
the coast all summer long, but on
this particular evening the clouds
parted. Golden tones everywhere.
I walked on a golden shore leaving
golden footprints, surfers' silhouettes
etched in, you name it, gold. And the
birds, the ones with the skinny legs
and long beaks that walk slowly,
regally, teasing out something
delectable; this evening they were
spotlighted, awash in gold. I was
transfixed by a golden moment.
