Where the water meets the sky

I shouldn't like the beach as much as I do. Between the heat and the crowds, I often feel overwhelmed just a few minutes after our feet first touch the sand.

But get out beside the water, where the crowds get thinner and the winds pick up, where you can hear the birds and feel the spray, where even a small wave washing over your ankles is enough to take the edge off and remind you why this place keeps calling you back.

On this day, a single boat roams the hazy lake between the shore and the horizon. You have no way of knowing who's on board, or what their plan for the day might be.

None of that should matter, anyway. Because they're out there, on an adventure. And some days it's enough to stand by the shore and feel inspired by the moment, and hope you're not the only one moved in some way by the magic of this remarkable place.
