My personal favorite of the show? Tradewinds, by Ken Auster. I love his use of color, space and movement, which perfectly captures D.T. Fleming Beach on a windy day. I can just feel the Ironwood Pine needles under my feet in the sand, smell the salt from the ocean and feel the breeze in my hair. I wish I was there right now!
