When I woke up early yesterday morning, the sun was shining.  So, I decided to take advantage and get out for a walk.

Automatically, I strolled down the hill to the boardwalk along the ocean’s shoreline.  You get the best scenery there, plus a nice breeze.  Music played through my headphones and I was enjoying the sun on my face and the extra boost of energy from the exercise.

Just as I neared the end of the bay, my eye caught something out of place.  Two women were wading in the sparkling green water, and with them were two horses.  The women were splashing water on the horses, more in the manner of cooling them off than washing them.

I was taken aback by this scene in the middle of town.  It seemed so utterly out of place.  I was glad I didn’t miss the opportunity by opting out of a walk.  It also made me wonder how many interesting and unexpected inspirations I miss every day.

I’ll be taking more early morning walks from now on.
