Shimmering Sands Over the Rainbow

Paikea let her sisters converse and she plonked her bottom next to the tide pool, gazing into it. It was a beautiful sight. Soft ripples obscured her faint reflection, and she smiled at herself. Below the water's surface was tiny grains of sand sparkling in the sunlight. Sea anenomes lined the rocks and dotted the sand. One or two star fish had placed theselves on a rock, and little hermit crabs scuttled around the bottom.

Small leaved of seaweed hanging from the rocks provided shelter for the crabs and the other little critters that lived there. It was purely beautiful. "Maybe we should stay here and rest for a bit," she said thoughtfully, entranced in the beauty of the tidepool before her.
