Leaning Cypress near Crown Memorial State Beach

Yesterday the world felt new because of sunshine after so many cloudy, rainy, chilly days (most of February). As I came upon this scene, I had a little moment of lovely transcendence because of the contrast of the dark, leaning cypress against the sliver of silver in the water and the white clouds just above the horizon. I mean, I was arrested, people!

That's what nature's beauty does to me. Others have many skills and powers that I do not, but I know not everyone has this special super-power of enjoying nature so deeply. I feel so lucky.
