A Beach Ride with the Family in Florida’s Forgotten Coast

hummed to the tune of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”- (1967, Lennon/McCartney)

Picture yourself on a bike with your loved ones,
tagging along is your sea-loving child.
drifting along as you sail past the breakers,
the low tide enabling your ride to the wilds.

gelatonous jellies of purple and green
scatterred all over the sand
then the thought strikes you, your mind opens quickly
beach cruisers and 3rd wheel are grand

family pedalling the beach of seashells
family pedalling the beach of seashells
family pedalling the beach of seashells, ahh…

7 miles later, you the envision the panthers
gazing hungrily at your family with fixated eyes
try not to worry, despite all the footprints
as your beach-cruising family flies by

thousands of mollusks appear on the shore,
speckled to the horizon line
a dolphin leaps loudly just off the shore
then she’s gone…

family pedalling the beach of seashells
family pedalling the beach of seashells
family pedalling the beach of seashells, ahh…

Picture yourself on a bike with your loved ones,
tagging along is your sea-loving child.
drifting along as you sail past the breakers,
the low tide enabling your ride to the wilds.

Check out these great pics.
