Day 7- What a fantastic morning on Nokomis Beach! I took advantage of the misty fog for a impromptu beach walk.  The water was so cold today but that didn't stop me from walking through it, I'm like a little kid.  So many great treasures washed up with the surf today. Although I mostly collect rocks and the occasional piece of coral.   As I was reaching down for something just below the surf a giant sting ray (as big as my Henry) swam right up to me.  A special little moment of terror for both of us I'm sure.  I don't often see rays in the ocean...and I've never seen one quite so large!  Just as the jetty came into view so did the faint shadow of a sail boat emerging from the island.  I sat and waited for it to sail south towards my side of the beach but it only just slipped in and out of view for quite some time.  I love being on and near the water in the fog. It makes me feel isolated and alone, like that time is just for me and no one else, hidden in the fog with the birds and the fishes...

 The color gray is an unemotional color. Its detached, neutral, impartial and indecisive. But oh so necessary!

Thanks for reading!
