Grouper

Welcome to my blog. The writings are created by me, Jennifer Alfia DiMarzo and the paintings presented are the original works of my husband, Dean DiMarzo. We hope that you may be able to join us Monday through Friday, throughout the next year on our creative journey! Enjoy!

Walking carelessly in the deep, soft sand, my bare feet absorb every grain, soaking in the warmth. I stumble upon a perched two-toned umbrella, providing me a few moments of shade. Tropical palms abound, dancing around me with the gentle ocean breeze. Comfortably dressed in my suit, I squat, deeply inhaling the fragrance of the salty ocean air. The ocean's edge appears a perfect tone of light green. It is harmonious to look at and listen to. I wish to sit at length before emerging in it. The sight of the water cools and refreshes me. I reach into my tote, shuffling past my gear, and manage to grasp one of my large ripe mangos. It's juice provides a sweet sensation across my body. I am fortified now. Swimming through the smooth current, I double check to be sure my gear is safely in place. The stark white of my snorkel and mask, seems to be very appealing to the many creatures of this hidden shoreline sanctuary. One creature in particular swims towards me with her big round bubbly lips. Her size comes close to mine, though not intimidating. Her large ebony spots evenly spread over her scaly body, compliment her vertical golden amber-like stripes. We swim in a circular and rhythmical pattern, sharing each other's joy. I am unconsciously transported to a very special place.
