I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away ...
In our case it's a lake. A favorite summer perch, a mile from our home.
A place to have a picnic lunch on the end of the dock then feed the fish our scraps. A place to enjoy an ice cream cone. A place where calm and tranquil creates a setting by the water with boats lazily passing by and kids splashing.
Here is a panoramic view from left to right ...
My girls don't enjoy it as much as I do, but I'm hoping someday they remember and take the time to sit on a dock with their babies.
