I love this time of year. For many reasons. One big part of this is that it is a time of transition. Transition into the holiday season (my favorite).

We were in paradise when the storm came. Swimming in crystal clear, turquoise water. Watching fish dance in their weightless wonderland. Turtles frolicking to and fro.
