Type and Size

She has a plan, a wagon full of friends, and what looks like a shortcut to the water.

The Short Walk to the Water is about the kind of adventure that begins when you know where you're going, but leave plenty of room to discover what happens along the way.

Artwork Story

Getting to the beach always takes a little effort. You choose where you're going, pack what you think you'll need, and eventually start walking.

This girl seems to have the important parts figured out. She knows where she's headed, and she's bringing her friends along. Maybe the towels and beach chairs didn't make the cut to make room for the dog and her doll.

The water is already in sight, but there is still a lot of soft sand between here and there.

I've always liked shortcuts, even though they have a habit of becoming the long way around. But sometimes that's the best part.

You might discover something you weren't looking for.
