A large promotional deckchair on the Western Esplanade at Ryde, Isle of Wight, there to promote a business hiring out deckchairs to tourists for use on the beach at Ryde. For a comparison, a standard size deckchair can be seen next to it. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Beach Life

 

Wet suited surfer

rides the wild and rolling waves

toward the sandy beach

 

Children build sand castles

with painted bucket and spade

by waters edge

 

Large male in white shirt

knotted handkerchief on head

sleeps slumped in deckchair

 

Teenage girl in shorts

turquoise T shirt and flip flops

slowly eats ice cream

 

Baby on all fours

crawling fast along the beach

pursued by father.

 

Dressed in purple

elderly lady wrestles

with striped deckchair.

 

Young woman wrapped

in beach towel wriggles

to remove bathing suit.

This time of year it’s good to dream.
