Waiting to be filled

A row of four chairs on the beach at Santa Maria, Florida.

As the sun gently rose above the horizon, I spotted four pristine white Adirondack chairs neatly lined up, eagerly awaiting company.

Typically, these classic chairs are found by lakes in Canada or northern states. But with the palm leaves framing the scene, it's clear this beach is a tropical paradise, far from the freshwater lakes or northern coastlines they’re usually associated with.
