Today was a beautiful, sunny day. Myself and 5 of my friends decided it would be a great day to go to the beach and get some sun. We ended up going to Bonita Beach, which was nice and not too crowded. After slathering on some sun screen, we headed to the water, unaware of the danger that lurked beneath the cool water. We swam around and chilled in the water when all of a sudden, one of my friends started saying "Ow. Ow. Ow! Jellyfish!" She was laughing and smiling though, so we did not believe her at first. Then all 6 of us were being stung all over and proceeded to swim for shore. Apparently there was a huge mob of jellyfish chilling off shore. We warned others by showing them our battle wounds, but dozens still came across the jellyfish to their dismay. For the rest of the day, we sat by the shore, watching the pelicans soar gracefully over the water and seagulls fight for food.
Today poses as a reminder that nature not only captivates you with beauty, but also scares you away.
