The coast seems to stretch on for miles in either direction.  The ocean itself has receded some and the tide has not yet rolled in.  The water laps half-heartedly at the sand and the glistening shades of seashells dot the wet sand.  All around the sand gleams a shade of white.
Coast, Shore
there is the lighthouse keeper on his daily walk up the boardwalk.
a pelican
I'm a pelican. I have white feathers and a beak. I love to fly above the water and look for fish to eat. I spend my time with the other pelicans.
I'm always around the coast to fish for my meal. How goes the lighthouse business? Tiring to say the least, I always seem to be working. Do you help many a boat when the waves are high and the night is dark, so dark that the men in the boats can't see the shore. Unfortunately so, that is most of the reason for the long hours. So what do you do during the day? I search for shells to see if there any crabs to get out of them to eat. I usually try to sneak in a walk on the boardwalk in between making sure the maintenance is kept up. Nothing like fresh air, the smell of fish and the pretty girls Like the young woman who sells flowers? Just like the woman who sells flowers.... On that I would concur with you. Here you can have the seashell, there is no crab. Thank you, is there a particular type of shell that you like?
