This summer has afforded Juniper several opportunities to deepen her relationship with the sea. For the most part, this has been valuable growth, and she enjoys approaching the water under the right conditions (accompanied by her people, without big waves and with a shallow grade). Her early life experience of being chased by waves as big as herself has not been forgotten, however, and sometimes she’s still nervous at the water’s edge. Here, we see her signalling, “This is plenty close enough, thank youuuuuu!”
