S
joy in the journey
Sea turtle rests in soft sand
High Tide is coming
Waves breach sandy wall
Sea sculpture in jeopardy
Turtle loses head
High tide claims its own
Turtle disappears in surf
Memories forever

Delightful poetry and photos, Dwight! Part of the allure of sand sculptures, like flowers is their impermanence. 🙂 Thank you for sharing this!
