Shore Along the Outerbanks — Image by kenne
At the Outer Banks pier—
tide working the posts.
Waves come in
with no plan.
Dune line,
ocean breathing beyond.
Sand moves slowly—
stillness in motion.
Waves break,
and break again.
Nothing carried forward,
nothing left behind.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

A Wonderful Bird Is The Pelican
A funny old bird is a pelican.
His beak can hold more than his belican.
Food for a week
He can hold in his beak,
But I don’t know how the helican.

Pelican On Oceanside Pier — Image by kenne
A wonderful bird is a pelican
His bill will hold more than his belican.
He can take in his beak
Food enough for a week,
But I’m damned if I see how the helican.

Some people surf the waves
Some people lay in the sun
Some people build sandcastles
Some people do their own thing
I hope some people do . . .

The Pelican
A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I’m damned if I see how the helican!

Sand Drawing, Oceanside — Images by kenne
A line in the sand
Etched by a youthful artist
In the stick of time.
Watchful eyes ponder
The lines creating figures
Transposed through a stick.
Finished for viewing
Soon to be swept to the sea
In the sands of time.

Bride & Bridesmaids On Oceanside Pier — Image by kenne
Some may call me a photographer,
having an eye for the moment
always looking for the duende.
Catching the edge of life
creating a visual narrative
of what was, what is and will be.
Every moment I capture
starts a journey from
what I found to what found me.
Many layers blending together
shaping a visual attitude
as of my mind’s eye —
Poetry without words,
an expression of existence
in life’s fleeting moments.
Looking for photos within a photo
Catching what others see
Through their camera’s eye.
Having a camera is not
a photographer to be
without being drunk with life —
A passion to do something
without knowing what or why,
making the invisible, visible.
Forming a communication circuit
laminating a soulful spirit
linking an image with viewer —
As with Klee’s quirky angels
where we try deciphering
visible and hidden meanings.

When I was a kid, one of my biggest treats was a chocolate milkshake — not because I loved sweets, but because it was so rare. While in Oceanside last week, we had lunch at a 50’s style restaurant known for its shakes and hamburgers. Since having a milkshake is still rare, I ordered one for old-times sake — it was very tasty! Knowing my having a milkshake is so not me, Joy and Jeri insisted on getting a picture — this posting is for them.
To shake or not to shake? Boozed-infused milkshakes could help me answer the question! (See Related Articles link below.)
