Weekly Photo Challenge: Horizon
HORIZON My horizon is where blue meets blue. Ocean meets sky. At times clouds fill my horizon yet blue skies are always certain. What lies ahead of me, on my horizon, is an exciting adventure that I relish and embrace. Seas may be stormy but there is always light on the horizon.

But, as on every Wednesday for the past 29 Wednesdays, we did what we have always done. We suited up. Waxed our boards. Slathered on sunscreen (yes even in cloudy weather). And jumped…

This past Wednesday was winter!! Where just a day before had been summer. Tuesday was a sunny, warm, cloudless, wind…
