Lido Beach Lido is one of my favorite beaches she is a beautiful lady shimmering in salt gown flowing in blue green sequins as she prisses upon the dance floored white sand a place of vastness at calm and turmoil a true southern princess updated daily by the earth mother rolling her waves and decorating her locks in sea life Saturday I looked into her beautiful face and heard the faint sound of angels crying in the voices of gulls flying over my head I like them worry if my children’s children will ever get to meet and really know her and the greatness of her secret beauty "I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad." — Joni Mitchell |

Oh this is beautiful.. I really saw it, through your loving descriptions.. yes, let`s hope she remains as beautiful for the coming generations.. though she`s an oil stain on her gown, for now.. =( . Gorgeous write, as always.. Love,~Amaryllis |

So very timely with the devasting oil spill down south in the gulf. Wonderful. It reminded me of that exquisite picture of you standing in the surf that used to be in your home page. I don't see it there anymore though What beautiful things your children might not be able to see in nature Helen, they will always be able to see it, in you. Richard xx |

I`m always on the lookout for a standout line - this poem has one. `A true southern princess updated daily by the earth mother rolling her waves` |

Hi Helen. Ig's been so long since this land-locked soul has been to a beach, South Padre Island. I kept a zip lock baggie with some shells and sand to help me remember but then lost it 3 years later. Help me fantasize for now???????? Funs Jaime.  Hey, nobody's human! |
