OK last night 23 September, Grayton Beach....absolutely incredible surf, beautiful sky....swimming against the tide, current and undertow...get this....while I sat with my butt planted in the sand...awaiting the moment...you know the one... something suddenly caught my eye...a bobbing thing...appearing to struggle for life...as it was swept Westward bound...driven by the current... I popped up and ran along the shoreline, West, trying to determine....was it a baby turtle? A crab? No, something red.... I dashed into the be sea....and grabbed the darn thing...ready for this??? It was a single red rose...absolutely....a rose, long stem, artificial but nice quality :) ...with a black satin ribbon tied around the stem... I can only imagine a funeral....or perhaps...someone's ashes tossed out to sea...and then a rose...to be swept along the coastline...in the current....to me? Where did it begin...how far did it travel...a moment ago...1 mile... there was no one insight from the east...a wedding taking place at suset to the west.... I wish you had been there....the clouds were dark and mysterious...the sun incredible as it sank into our sea...and suddenly around 6:45 as it disappeared, the dark and ominous clouds...filled with the most incredible oranges, reds, purples and pinks you've ever seen... were you there?
