Rolling waves crashed into the sands on the coast of Nusa Dua; the sky a clearer blue than the ocean itself. Walking barefoot along the shores, a passing breeze carried the scent of ocean and wood. Between that scent was something sweet. Only a few feet away an arrangement of frangipani flowers could be spotted. In that arrangement, one different flower stood out from the rest, golden sunlight hitting its luscious red petal. From cascading wet washes to staccato dry brushes, colors dancing and vibrant compose the brilliant hibiscus I dared recapture from memory. The southern scent of that summer.
