The winds blew across the island giving a break to those who were trying to stay cool in the heat wave that held hold of the island over the past weeks, many trying to find ways to stay cool or hidden from the sun. but others were soaking up and one dinosaur in particular by the name of Masha a brown feathered sucho who had been hanging out at the beach basking in the warm sand. His brown feathers caked with wet sand from him laying down, from his basking.

“Ah the warm sun, I could never hide from it” Masha said letting out smile come from his jaws as he looked up at the sun, the young male sucho always loved spending the day at the beach when the warm weather rolled around and today was a good day to watch the waves for Masha or so he thought at least. His feathers were somewhat damp from being in the water earlier in the day but he would revisit the cooling ocean soon.

  Masha stuck close to the beaches for this very reason as it provided a whole experience compared to the forests. He found them muggy and too crowded, the beach was nice and open with beauty to see all the time.

“I think it’s time for a dip. Get the feathers wet again” he mumbled to himself as he stood up shaking off the sand from his feathers and leaving footprints behind in the sand. Masha made it and he would enjoy the water as much as he could soaking of every drop to keep himself cool from the overheated conditions , stopping at the tide before stepping into the cool ocean water, particularly flopping over as he let out a sigh of being content.

The waves splashed against him as he splashed his tail in the water humming to himself as he sat in the water dunking his head in and shaking his feathers off once his head was wet. Masha looked around watching various water dino’s jumping in and out of the waves further in the ocean just past the various reefs that littered the bottom of the shallow area, making his head tilt in curiosity. Maybe looking at the reefs was something else that would be fun while he was in the water, Masha standing up as he moved further into the water soon about to be submerged fully.

Using his strong legs he pushed himself to the bottom as he used his claws gripping to the large rocks filled with coral and various colorful fish, he loved the lush life that the coral reef had with all the colors and different aquatic life. As he moved around the reefs seeing all the coral and different plant life , moving through various schools of fish that swam by him, it was full of life and Masha loved it.

Soon coming back up for air Masha breached the surface as he shook the water from his feathers as he made his way back to the shore stepping in the wet sand as he looked back at the ocean and smiled , the water was always his favorite part about the beach he couldn’t imagine not visiting the beach but that was enough water time for him. He wanted to return to the warm sands and continued basking along with drying off, once back onto the sand he felt the warmness between his toes before trotting down the beach looking for a new spot to bask in.

Flopping down in a new sandy area Masha let out a rumble as he made sure the sun was hitting all his feathers in the right spot as he placed his head in the sand closing his eyes. Masha would always come here when he was younger so spending his time at the beach was always something he held close to his heart and he felt at peace hearing the waves crash against the shoreline as the tide would come in every so often.

Slowly opening his eyes as he heard the wing flaps as he watched various tropes fly in the sky seeming like they had come to fish, lifting his head he watched them fly about over the ocean. He would continue to spend his time here for the rest of the day and he also wanted to collect some of the gleaming shells he had passed by during his trot down the sand, he had hoard he had to continue to grow but with that he was still in relax mode so hanging out at the beach a bit longer before heading home was his main goal today and not to rush but allow himself to enjoy the various things it had to offer. A day well spent by Masha.
