Akiva, throwing logs to the sea,

 

 

 

finds a bigger log from the base of the bluffs

 

 

 

and rolls it to the water

 

 

 

and paddles in the bay.

 

 

 

Log in the water!

 

 

 

Iris joins him,

 

 

 

& they bounce across the bay.

 

 

 

Later, when they return to land,

 

 

 

I tell them the log is to slow erosion, so please put it back by the bluffs.

 

 

 

They move like sea turtles up the sand,

 

 

 

footprints like turtle crawls, pushing their log-boat to its nest beyond the waves.

 

 

Here the photos stop.

Pushing a log on wet sand is not too hard.

Pushing a log a up a hill of forgiving sand

requires the force of a photographer.
