Things you learn at the beach

Some birds soar, others flap --- hard.
Sun and rain alternates and a bad day can turn into a good one.
And vice versa.
Everything's prettier in the sun.
Everybody's happier in the sun.
Some birds pick at other birds.
Big kids run, little kids scramble --- but eventually get to the same place.
Kids can find adventures for hours.
Time goes slowly.
Pelicans fly in groups, hunt alone.
Sand gets in everything.
Little girl toddlers don't like to get sand between their fingers.
Little boy toddlers get sand everywhere and don't even notice.
Big brothers watch out for smaller ones.
Treasures wash up and appear unexpectedly.
Broken shells and rounded rocks are treasures.
Kites soar effortlessly.
Sun warms the soul.
Tree harvests in view of the beach are depressing.
Lighthouses, though manmade, actually compliment nature.
Eyes follow movement.
Waves and people are always moving.
Even little houses are expensive.
It's easier to walk with the wind than against it.
Resistence of the waves agains the rocks make the most impressive splash.
Minds expand in nature's expanse.
