:A Dream"

(C) copyright Esmeralda Hernandez Being in South Padre Island in Texas  in the heart of winter on a Monday was a dream like day. I had the most fun in a long while that day.  I enjoyed walking barefoot in the sand, taking pictures with mom, and playing in the water.  A funny thing happened that day while popping a bag of chips several sea gulls were waiting overhead for some chips to drop on the sand.  Laughter mixed with being surprised at how close the birds were to me.  My mother laughs as I gave her the bag to go lead the birds somewhere else and eventually teaching the little ones to feed the birds.  They were having fun.   That day will be in my heart. As I am sure many of you experience that while going to the beach. Even  after three months I remember the entire trip.

I entitled this a dream because the sounds seem so far away the sound of the seagulls, me laughing, and the roar of the ocean.  It seems like some place far off.
