It is amazing to walk the beach in the off season. The gentle waves coming to shore. The seagulls your only companions. You notice things. You can breathe deeper. It allows you to see the bigger picture. So close to this vast ocean you feel small, insignificant. And yet at peace. Just one person, one bird, it’s reflection so clear on the wet sand. The breeze ruffling his feathers. You dare not disturb the tranquility. A small smile makes its way to your face as you take your photo. A few more seconds to take in the view, the calm. One last deep breath and I turn and walk away.
