Seagulls

August 26, 2016 By Marit 10 Comments

It’s the high season in Zeeland… my island is overflowing with tourists.
Tourists in the city.
Tourists in the shops.
Tourists on the pavement cafรฉs.
Tourists on the beach and,
because this is the land of water and fish,
tourists at the fish stalls.

Besides the locals (campsite owners, shop keepers, restaurant owners) there’s another species content about the high season…
seagulls!

Toeristenseizoen
De meeuwen bij de viskraam
vieren een feestje
High tourist season
The seagulls at the fish stall
are having a blast

Whatever season it may be in your part of the world: enjoy!

I submit this haiku to Haiku my Heart.

    Oh and how I do wish I was one of those tourists! Or one of those seagulls…

    Love having this Friday connection with you again my dear friend! And feeling in my bones, the magic of this place where you live… the colors and the sky and the water are forever a part of my heart, as are you. Have a great weekend Marit! XO

    Those seagulls can be rascals that’s for sure.
    A friend in Florida had her ice cream cone stolen by one ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Wishing you a lovely weekend dear Marit โ™ฅ
