Excellence Award in the 'Horizon of Dreams 2018' competition

The wind was salty as chips.
The air was fresh as mint.
The sun was as shiny as a treasure chest.
The sky was as blue as a blueberry.
The sand was as yellow as gold.
The fish were as shiny as shells.
The dolphins were as elegant as flamingos.
The seaweed was as squirmy as a sister.
The crowd was as silent as swans.
The sea was as clear as glass.
The sharks were as far away as possible.
The atmosphere was as beautiful as butterflies.
The families were as happy as us.
The love was as magical as a unicorn.
That is why it was a perfect summers day for a swim at the beach.
