Mermaid heart...

The sun finally came out this weekend. I say finally because this has been the worst summer I can remember. I went swimming for the first time on Saturday!! This mermaid doesn't do so well without water. So when the sun emerged, we all took to the beaches..we love summer here on the island..maybe because it's so fleeting. We soak up every second...this is a taste of my last few days...

Talia

What I love most about her is how completely unaware of how beautiful she is...she just doesn't get what we're all talking about. She has a pure heart, an innocence, an innate goodness that is so rare in this world...she's a ray of light..so much fun to be around..

She was spinning and twirling...lost in the magic that is seventeen...
