For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: zest.
I picked the photograph, taken off the dock in Port Townsend in 2017, before reading the prompt. It doesn’t fit the prompt. Oh, yes, it does, it’s the color. Quite gorgeous to watch slowly swimming along.
On a foggy day.
And the opposite shore and even the ferry, can only sometimes be seen.
Come in
It’s an ocean
Big enough for us all
Float under the bridge with me
Or wander out to distant ships at sea
Stay on the surface
Or come down in the depths
Leap out and crash back in whale form
Or surf the wake of a boat
Or in the waves to catch a fish
Storms come and rain and rainbows
Sky with clouds lightening sun stars
Climb a rock or lighthouse or cliff
Or stand on a boat
But then return oh love return to the sea

For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: play.
Whom am I playing with?
As Walt Kelly’s Pogo characters would say: “YOOM. That’s whom.”
Taken at the Port Townsend Marine Science Center.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: spiral.
Taken at the Port Townsend Marine Science Center on Saturday. The tide pool and ocean exhibits are gorgeous.
Now, what would we look like if we grew in a spiral?
Today’s Mundane Monday #172 theme is windy.
Last night a friend and I attended a reception at the Port Townsend Marine Science Center. A beautiful evening and windy. We were welcomed by this wind sock octopus.

I am posting this now, because even though it’s 6:28 am on Sunday for me, it’s already 1:28 am on the Kamchatka Peninsula, on Monday! I live more toward the tail end of Monday, so I am deciding to post on Sunday once it is Monday somewhere!
For Mindlovesmisery’s Menagarie Heeding haiku: cooling down.
ferry ride cool down
northwest summer wind water
chill wind blows no good
prayers for all the places on fire and with abnormally hot weather….
