Bird Of Paradise Flower Bud Stalk.

Just before the long walk under the railroad tracks to the Oceanside Pier, eye catching gardens line the walk way. Several of these bird of paradise plants grow there and their new spring shoots reach for the sky. How could I not, capture several out standing photos. I like the natural curves and the soft sky.

TAKE ME AWAY AND DON'T WAKE ME UP
By Tom Stanley Janca,  may 8 2013

Take me there now.
Soothe my face with your ocean breeze.
Cool my feet with your cold salty water.
Tickle my toes with your sandy beach
Warm me up old foggie sun.
 Its okey  to shine once in awhile. Oh I can feel it now.
 I close my eyes to see the pretty view so clear it is to see.
 My deep breaths of ocean air are so refreshing to me.
Don't wake  me now for I am far away and I want to stay the whole day
I like it here now and  I don't want to come back another day.
