The Ebb and Flow

The Ebb and Flow

The beach glissens with jewels it offers up to passer by’s
Constantly changing as the tide ebbs and flows
This day was no different
This shell just opened by a hungry gull
Lay wounded and hoping to float out to sea
Beyond the reach of the preditors on the shore
Only this picture remembers who he once was..

Fripp Island SC..

    Forgive my twisted sense of humor!
    ...........you see the gull is guilty of breaking,entering assault and theft with a deadly weapon…your evidence should convict him….....ha.ha.ha!
    ................ this is now probably going over like a lead balloon…..:)))
