PUTT-PUTT-PUTT

 "Use the wings of the flying Universe. Dream with open eyes.See in the darkness..." -Dejan Stojanovic
 Summer . The one day that  it actually feels like summer. Putt-putt-putt in the distance....
 Down at Tyee Spit. Watching the fishermen on the bright water.Watching them watch the planes come in and go out.
 Empty beach.
 Planes  in the estuary. Putt-putt-putt....
 "All really great flying adventures begin at dawn.-." -Stephen Coonts
 No I did not get on a plane. I sat on the empty bench at the empty Spit and looked across to Painter's Lodge.
 I just like to watch them putt-putt-putt around the bay and take off into the blue yonder.
 The Lodge looked equally quiet this afternoon. Not a lot of tourists.
Just the planes. Putt-putt-putt...
 "One day you will fly away, with wings so strong to be broken,and a spirit too wild to be caged...."
 -Samiha Totanji
 Sudden silence as the planes veers around the corner. Putt-putt-putt....
 Which now  becomes vroom. Then a whoosh and  putt-putt-putt becomes swoosh.
 Up up up and away.....and I look for the next one coming around the bend in the beach. Putt-putt-putt.............
