The wise wind-beaten tree had told us of safe passage where the Scotchman hung
So we rested and gathered our courage
before preparing to move out
under a green branch and protected shore we neared the still water
harboured from the open sea grasses grew covering what lay beneath
next to the brown pond
the algae bloomed in the brownish calm
the outcropping offered safety for a time
but the sea was growing restless
we had avoided it's clutches and best efforts this whole time.. not even the Island Alpinist had had his usual moderate drenching
So with ooze to the left and sea to the right we decided to make way forward
A frozen face screamed an eternal warning not to disturb the dragon's eggs...
say what?
Oh.. those.
A star shone from a sea pool
Waves crashed while small shapes observed from beside
the sea roared in it's attempt to get at us
The Island Alpinist briefly got caught in a pool
but then he escaped.
and we made a break for the cliffs
The walls stood furious
We searched out a ramp when we heard a kelp beast's battle cry
So the Island Alpinist fought with it. And defeated it.
Knowing that there would be more we challenged the rock and left for the forest
Through the Watchers we went
and into the woods

Frick dude, this is most excellent work!
Wow, what a fascinating place! A place that no doubt could suck hours out of your day without you even noticing.
Thank you so much for your comment Heather! I really appreciate it :D
and yes it can take large chunks of time out of your day but you don't notice and are thankful for the experience ;) a few posts back from this one we encountered a black bear foraging along the sea shore eating sea urchins and such :D
It's glorious this world we wander :)
