Shark at the beach

I was walking the beach at sunrise this morning, splashing along barefoot in the water. I almost walked right into this shark.

That woke me up!

It was swimming back and forth at the edge of the water, close enough that I could hear the theme music from Jaws playing in my head.

Enjoy your day!
