I love the water, but I am not a fish.
From high above, I study the water.
And watch the fish.
A spirited surge of spray collapses to foam, covers the shore, returns to sea. Strands of seaweed languish at daybreak.
Just below the clear surface, fish dart and flit and flash silver to the sky.
Breakfast.
I love the water, but I am not a fish.

What a beautiful way to put it. It kind of reminds me of St Paul’s ‘We’re in the world, but not of it” 🙂
Thank you Corinne!
This is awesome and such a brilliant angle to take. I love it Tayla!!

Thank you Dorothy. Can you tell I’m thinking about my trip to the Oregon/Washington coast? 🙂
But it’s fun to pretend to be one when swimming through the water.
