Dreaming on the Beach

 

   Every once in a while, I have the time and opportunity to visit a place like Roberts Point in Washing State.  Its a time for reflection, letting my mind wander, imagine, watch wildlife, the passing of ships, hopeful fishermen and writing. 

On this trip I had the opportunity to rough out two poems you will find in the poetry section, Roberts Point and Beach Bum. I trust you enjoy them.

Magnolias

April is that special time of year when not only do we celebrate my birthday but we view the harvest of winter. The dormant rest now produces a flood of colours, textures, and scents.  It is a delight to soak in the subtle hues and powerful images; to take a petal and caress it lightly.

Whether strolling through Vancouver Island's Butchart Gardens,  VanDusen Botanical Gardens, or the Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver, one gets to absorb the richness of trees and shrubs blooming

Magnolias are one of Spring's bountiful joys.
