Morning in Seal Beach. Flight = inspiration. Riding the wave = writing the poem.  #rlswihart13 @rl_swihart #sealbeach #walking #pier #flight #waves #surfing #poetry #inspiration #readmorepoetry #readchekhov #followfollowsaidtheswallow

I've been lazy. Busy. But I have snapped a few pics. *

                                                                  

Bolsa Chica turned into more of a chat than a walk (Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley -- and a little bit of Pretty Boy Percy), so I stopped in Seal Beach on the way home. Two short walks = not so bad. Hadn't been on Main Street in some time (Is the Bay Theater closed? When does Paradis open?), and I wanted to walk to the end of the pier and back before the heat flared. I walked until I came to the fence that said No More. I knew Ruby's was boarded up, but it's a shame that nothing has replaced her yet (she looked so sad, as if she wanted to fall off the end of the pier). Anyway, a little more walking and a few pics to prove I was there. *                                   

          

Got there a little early so I walked out on the pier and down toward the library. Was sorry to see that Ruby's had closed (sign said it'd been there for 25 years). #1: Three views back to Long Beach (two before and one after breakfast):               #2: The Pier:         #3: The Seal:         #4: More Seals:           #5: Lifeguard houses (wintering):         #6: The Red Car Museum (Hoodied):
