Beauty at the Beach

 Beauty at the Beach

    "Have you ever seen a photograph of Earth taken from space?" asked Aunt Cammy. "You see that Earth is mostly blue because most of Earth is water. The mighty oceans cover a large part of Earth."

    "I'd like to see the ocean," Keith said. "Can we go?"

    Aunt Cammy said, "Great idea! Let's take a 'beauty walk' at the beach. We'll stop and look at things we find beautiful. Too many times we just right by." Keith ran to get his bathing suit.

    When they got to the beach, Aunt Cammy said, "Isn't the white sand beautiful? It is smooth and sparkles in the sun like diamonds."

    Keith and Aunt Cammy walked along the ocean's edge. Keith stopped and gazed at a seashell that was the color of the moon.

    Aunt Cammy pointed to a starfish. Keith bent down. Suddenly, a wave washed it away! Aunt Cammy grabbed Keith's arm so he wouldn't wash away, too.

    They played in the surf, sat in the sun, walked, and looked. They talked about each beautiful thing they found. They didn't pick anything up. They left things for someone else to enjoy.
