Dreaming of Mermaids

I love the idea of mermaids.  Not the Disney version, but the darker more mysterious version of Hans Christian Anderson.  I always envision them with dark glittering tails and voices you could lose yourself in.  They are haughty and vain and are constantly in motion.  They swim to the surface to bask in waxy moonlight and then dart to the depths again.

We went for another road trip today and ended up down by the ocean.  The salt sea was spraying, and the waves were beckoning wickedly.  I took this picture of my daughter and I could almost imagine those mermaids whispering from the depths…

So beautiful and mysterious the water, slipping in and out and pulling me farther…farther…
