Tide Pools...

I LOVE tide pools

they are like a secret fairyland

full of hidden surprises

~

When I go there I feel like 

Horton 

in Horton hears a who

As I am almost sure I can hear the sea-life whisper

and 

One has to be careful to not step on the hundreds of sea anemones

dotting the sandy floor

Sometimes it takes awhile to find all the hidden treasures

and 

sometimes they are bold and bright

I love when you can get real close without having to worry

about

a big ole wave knocking you

ass over tea kettle into the rocks

 let me tell you

getting tumbled around in this minefield of rocks

HURTS

not to mention what would happen to your camera

So it pays to go online to find out

exactly

when it is going to be low tide 

and take advantage of 

all the beauty left uncovered

before the tide covers them

when

the sea reclaims what is hers
