By The Seashore
When I was a little boy, not yet of school age, there was a song sung by Harry Belafonte I used to love to sing – below. Although it does not really go with the photo, I thought to share it for the words part of the theme for this week. This photo (one of my favourites) was taken on one of the small local beaches called Spoonies Bay.
All day all night is Mary Ann,
Down by the seaside, sifting sand.
Even little children love Mary Ann,
Down by the seaside, sifting sand
Oh, when she walks long the shore people all she greets,
Wild birds fly her over and fish come to her feet.
In her heart there’s love but I’m the only man,
Who’s allowed to kiss my, oh Mary Ann.

Thanks for your comment
I remember that song by Belafonte from the days when I was a little girl. Love the photo
🙂 I smiled while reading this, Keith. Already a man, though a small one, at the age of six! Your photograph is outstanding and looks like a painting, which in fact many of your images do. Beautiful and artistic.
Beautiful Shot and such a touching poem.
Beautiful and I like the words to the song too.
Keith, will you check to make sure I am following you here on word press. I think I am but not sure.
Keith a very impressive shot of the Ocean.
I have heard that song before and it sure does fit this photo.
You are a very talented photographer.
Thanks for your comment.
Usually painters are solitary beings… 🙂 That group of painters makes the picture even more inspiring!
