Rolling and churning
Like energy awakened
Happy dance of Spring

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

i keep forgetting that you'll soon have spring. enjoy it. lovely image.
Yes. spring in your world, Gemma...but still summer in mine. :) I"m not ready to let go quite yet.
Lovely photo!
This is a beautiful photo Gemma. Those waves are heralding spring which I am sure you are looking forward to just as we do over on our side of the world.

Isn't it great to have winter out of the way and now you start spring. We have a long wait for that. Great photo.
Happy Spring Equinox. You must be so excited!b
You are going into spring and summer is ending here. Lovely beach, so peaceful.
That's a beautiful view of the waves crashing on shore!
Great spot to sit and contemplate or just let yourself be one with the ocean.
i love how you captured the motion of the waves. great photo.
Your verse just ebbs and flows like that dancing photo. Just beautiful
I could trade your spring with our summer heat. The beach is where I want to be.
Beautiful shots!
Terrific shot.
