The Bay, on any given day,

is always different.

every low tide

The water is always moving

Here comes the tide rushing in,

the second of the day.

This landscape changes 

constantly, 

clouds and water

moving.

I never tire of watching the action.

Each glimpse is

different.

Tidal current is the movement of water associated with the rise and fall of the tides.

Watching this event can be mesmerizing.
