Sometimes the greatest discoveries come from walking a simple path.
"Wow, Mom.....Baba......Look.....I found the Sea." said our cinnamon haired Tennessee boy. "How can a forest path lead to the ocean?" he wondered. "I didn't even see the sand coming or anything."
Did it rain last night? "Mom, this water has salt in it."
These lovely fall leaves and pine needles have found their way into a small crevice of water. A memory from the exiting tide.
Other gifts left by the ocean were big and wide mounds of seaweed.
Though we have been to a variety of oceans and seas in his life, this was the first time that there were rocks on the beach, and pieces of hidden life within their crevices.
A boy and the love of an ocean.
