We were waiting for a marathon to start (as spectators, not participants) when these three sisters waded into the water. Unseen are hundreds of athletes getting ready to wade into this water for the swim that started their race. But these three girls are in their own world, peering into the water, unselfconscious and free. I loved their interaction and their intense interest in what they might find. Each stooped down and scooped up finds, delighted to have discovered something new.
