This morning, the ocean was quiet. Everything was so very still and there was only a light breeze. The water was calm and in the distance appeared almost glassy.
This picture was made of the water just in front of the Lemontree's beach when I was out for a walk on the beach about 11 a.m. today. I caught sight of one of our guests in the water. No... not signaling for help... just waving at me. Where she is, just off the beach is in about 8 feet of water its just right for swimming andhe bottom is sandy. Just to her right by the rocks is a small reef that comes up close to the surface. On a morning like this it is perfect for a quick snorkel. Guests have seen schools of fish, a turtle or even a small octopus in the rocks.
Of course, being real and a part of the natural world, the ocean at the beach is not always so flat. On those days when the sea is rough there are other pleasures by the sea. When it is calm like it was today, one must seize the moment... put off the trip to town, put down the book... and enjoy what is offered - take that swim and enjoy.
