This red flag means no swimming

Some of us are foolish enough to get in the water, heavy
breaking-waves water, even when the red flag meant to discourage us
from doing it is up.

I enjoyed the seven days we spent on or around this beach. The red
flags were up several days. The very first morning we were on the
beach I went into the red-flagged water, turned away from a large wave
which then knocked my nice prescription sunglasses off my head, into
the water, never to be seen again, and I immediately felt like a fool.

Nonetheless, we came back home this morning, rested, warmed,
entertained, and happy.

The picture was one of about a thousand pictures I took during the
week. It required some turning, so I thought I'd make it look like a
picture taken by a cellphone with an app for disguising sensible
pictures as "Art."
