Jurassic Beauty

Emerald mountains border shaved rock facades. Pallid clouds speckle the electric blue sky, Remininscent of a robins egg ready to hatch. Mounds of cotton candy trail behind the sailboats engine. Aroma is flavored with ginger and orchids. Fragrance spreads the island like jam on warm toast. Dolphins jump up waving. Sea turtles putter,skimming the ocean top for tourists leftovers. Waterfalls spill over golf course green barrier reefs Poverty is tucked behind this garden of Jurassic beauty.
