Seas the Splash

Grab the flying foam
with your mind's eyes,
seize the day, bring home
this wet white prize,
if you can, quick -- gone.

In the photo of the sea splash do the see
the figure reaching forward to catch
the splash...

Look closely...
And then back to the original...
See? Seize the Splash? Go figure.

Yes, Minnesota has 10,000 lakes. They lack salt. Your latest post made me miss the ocean even more. Thanks, sort of!
