drive down the coast

This is my favorite shot of the day.  There are others that are really good, but this one touches me.  I was standing on a bluff high above the water when I took it.  I can remember the sun on my face, breeze whisping my hair and the feeling of awe watching these carefree surfers.

I didn't actually walk on the beach today.  I drove further than I usually do to a little surf town and just happens to also have a state university there.  The big deal in town is their beach board walk with all the carnival rides.  I did not go on them.  Instead I took a walk down the pier people watching and saw a few animals.

    woman - I think it would take a long time to orchestrate this if you tried.  I'm just glad I was there to catch it! :)  I love the "joy" it triggers in my head.

    Lu - the cliff shot?  Yeah, that's a goodie too.  The whole frickin coast is a picture just waiting to happen.  I don't remember what I did for stress release before I discovered this place.

    I could walk for hours along a coast like that.  Seriously pretty stuff.  Also I like the shot where you see the bluff and the cottages amongst the trees.

    Lu - yes, that was right in town.  The colors of the houses against the colors of the bluff are striking.  Well, all you gotta do is show up and we'll spend an entire day walking :)

    ginger - I feel very blessed to live near the coast.  I have been lucky in that at least 1/2 of my life has been spent near the water.  The sky also has it's very pretty moments! 
     
    Lu - you know it!  I'm pretty hard core with the beach walking, but we can plan some breaks and stop before your legs fall off. ;)

    Hege - it was a very laid back outing.  While lost in town I ran across a store that has meditation and eastern philosophy accessories.  Score!  I'll be back to see that one again I'm sure.
