Eating together
Love my Saturdays here
Community forever
Follow the sunset
Shut ya laptops
Soak up them rays
Non-stop
Warm slaps
Views upon views
Donuts smell amazing
Ever changing hues
Yet peeps on phone
Across beach
Like c’mon now
This sight to see
Nature’s finest
A vivid delight
Deep dark waters
Sky so bright
Birds glide
In unison
Across waters
So beautiful
Fish n chips
Pebble walks
Woman painting
Look, Pause
Sea strokes
Stoney shores
Air so crisp
The fresh outdoors
No where else
I’d rather be
Just ere Being
So heavenly
