You were...

 how close to the ocean and didn't go to the beach? Today, my last day in town, for now, I managed to drive Dad to Driftwood Shores so we could see the ocean. It was he who insisted we hike down to the water. 


I'm trying to demonstrate how to hold the camera with no viewfinder.

 



 This, by far, has been the most pleasant weather day all week.  We enjoy it while we can.  The eternity of it all, demonstrated by the ocean itself.  If only for a moment, sheer calm and beauty and grace.
