Beach Life
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.
