wet feet follow
the tide line

This is great. I feel like I can almost follow the person, their journey, their thoughts.
Your words go well with the photo.
I agree with both of you!
Choosing wet feet rather than (wet) footprints really opens the haiku up in my opinion.
A really good haiku and photo relationship here!
Really beautiful! I really like the feeling you created of sun and wet feet and the tide -- I can totally smell the salt air!!
:)
Together, you recreated a mood I have experienced at the beach many times and miss out here.
