jagged rocks and flip flops
It’s true that I’ve been accused of wearing flip flops at inappropriate times. Formal dinners, fitness centers, corporate meetings... (OK, that last one was a lie but you get the point) -- So anyway, when faced with a footwear decision yesterday, I thought heck, why not keep a good thing going? If nothing else, I may as well be consistent.
Fast forward a few hours and:
Hey, would you look at that. Awesome! All these rocks are sharp enough to slice through my feet. It’s a good thing I’m wearing flip flops.
They say hindsight is 20/20. Well, hindsight was also wearing a burly pair of hiking shoes.
It didn’t stop me from exploring this wild New Zealand coastline though. I just had to do it very slowly and extremely carefully. This shot for example, peaked my interest because of the murky green pool. I had to give it a closer look.
