Not quite alone. 🦆☀️🌊

Out of the camper. Into the lake.

Naked.

Because it felt like a good start to the day.

The world was still quiet, the sun had just risen, and I was pretty sure I had this morning all to myself.

Until I realized that I apparently did have company after all.

Five ducks swam alongside me as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

I had to laugh.

Even when swimming naked, you're sometimes less alone than you think.

The sun on my skin.

Water surrounding the body.

A cup of coffee afterward.

And the quiet reminder that life is often much simpler and more beautiful than we make it out to be.
