Life's low tides
allow time to appreciate
the beauty hidden
beneath the surface.

This is a photo from my visit to Hilton Head, South Carolina (before 365). We were there for a week vacationing with good friends. I captured my husband and friends in this photo.
I was raised by the Pacific Ocean but on the Atlantic Ocean, the tides and beach are so different. At low tide, there was such an expanse of beach before you get to the ocean. And the wet sand was so wide and firm enough for bike riding on the sand. I had never done that before. It was glorious. The ocean on one side and families enjoying the soft sand on the other side. We were riding our bikes in between...such fun.
We saw scattered jellyfish, other uncovered sea life and seashells that were left behind by low tide.
**The fires continue to burn in Northern California but we are not in danger. So sad though…
It is unnerving to see how many fires are burning around the world. This is such a great capture with the light across the sands and water and the silhouetted figures.
