Summer Foam


Words & Photos by Krysta Denzer

I dislike the way the foam builds up along the edge of the water. The waves crash together and, of course, make so many bubbles which must inevitably form into a thick beige foam. The foam rides upon the waters, eventually coming to rest on the sand, only to sit there shivering in the wind, jiggling like some brown, bubbly bowl of jello. All-natural jello on the beach, anyone? {You can learn more about sea foam here.}
