The water and sky were especially beautiful today; dramatic clouds and colors smeared across the landscape that has been more monochromatic the last few days.

Angie and I joined Caz, Catherine, Margaret, and Nicola for an 8 o’clock swimmers swim straight out for 25 minutes and then back in.

The water became increasingly wavy as we went; not especially choppy waves, but the kind that feel like a swirl of energy under the water. I felt like a rag doll being pushed and pulled, tossed around.

I loved it.

And I couldn’t get enough of the clouds, the layers, the sky full of texture and light.
