Cloud Waves            800 x 600   1024 x 768 
I looked up at the sky and the clouds looked like waves. Nice... But not nice enough to go inside and get the camera. Five minutes later, I looked up again and the waves were breaking...

Stingray
For a couple of weeks in July-August 2005, this beach had four stingrays lying dead on it. They all seemed to have died at the same time. One had a wing cut off. The others were intact. Makes me wonder what killed them. Must have had a good reason.
