Bird is the Word at 48th Street, VB, 12.31.13

Birds...

down at the Beach today...

As soon as i...

got near the Water...

an Eagle...

struggled with it's Prize...

a small Shark...

Tryin' to Fly Off...

with it...

the Eagle...

made it a few feet but...

couldn't get the heavy Fish...

Airborne...

and left...

without lookin' back...

But then...

the other Birds...

moved in...

to try their Luck...

with the...

Tough Skinned...

Carcass...

So Goodbye...

2013...

we're about done...

with ye...

Time for the...

Historians...

and Analysts...

to move in...

and pick yer Bones...

Nice Color at 48th Street, VB, 12.30.13

Pretty...

down at the Beach today...

Colors...

thrown Far...

and Wide...

across the Sky...

made for a...

Magnificent Start...

to the Day...

Maybe...

the Old Year...

wants to...

Go Out...

on a...

Good Face...

Misty Rains at 48th Street, VB, 12.29.13

Misty Rain...

down at the Beach today...

Seems the Water...

takes turns...

Hangin' in the Air...

and then Fallin' from it...

on this Warm Mornin'...

Watchin' the Gulls...

and Sandpipers...

Work the Surfline...

and Wash...

undeterred by the...

Precipitation...

It's a Good Day...

for Ducks...

and Plants...

The Black Pine...

thinks it's just...

Fine...

as it Stands...

Sentinel-Like...

as Always...

Watchin' Over...

the Comin's...

and Goin's...

at the Beach...

Dolphin Stream at 48th Street, VB, 12.28.13

Chilly and Clear...

down at the Beach today...

The New Daylight...

Reveals...

Dolphin...

Streamin' South...

in loose Pods...

A shiny Parade...

of Fins...

and Spouts...

Crispy Orange Sunrise at 48th Street, VB, 12.27.13

Bright and Crisp...

down at the Beach today...

Winds are Calm...

Sky is Clear...

It's Cold...

but not Biting...

Just enough...

Slap...

to the Surf...

to let you know...

it's not a Lake...

as you take...

a Pleasant...

Seaside Stroll...

Easygoin' Quiet at 48th Street, VB, 12.26.13

Milder...

down at the Beach today...

The wind...

is down...

and the Clouds...

like a Blanket...

keep the Cold...

at bay...

making for...

a Pleasant Stroll...

along Water's Edge...

Dogs have sniffed...

at a discarded Bow...

lyin' on the Beach...

Yesterday a Festive Symbol...

of Love and Generosity...

Just another piece...

of Trash on the Beach...

in the...

Early Mornin'...

Light...
