Oh the beauty of nature. The soft crash of the ocean against lava rocks or the watercolor portrait in the sky of a beautiful tropical sunset. Or how about massive Sting Rays?

It's wonderfully stunning. :) How beautiful.
that is made of awesome sauce!
They ARE beautiful. A few years ago my grandmother stood in a school of sting rays and they swam around her, without stinging her.
I love sting rays :) I've gone snorkeling with them before
