This is where I was at today. White Rock Beach. Haven't been there in years. Today I packed a towel and lots of change for parking and off I went this morning.
One of signs for me being in a happy place is that I go to the beach , to the ocean. I don't necessarily go to lay out in the sun but more for the expansiveness of the ocean and the sand. I did sit out in my skimpies for awhile and then ventured out for look about. Another sign I'm in a happy place is that I enjoy what I eat. I had not intended to stay there through lunch hour (I didn't really have much plans for the day) I picked a hummus sandwith at a cafe and sat promped on a log and watched the passers by and happily ate my lunch.
The sun was warm and the ocean breeze was fresh. I packed my camera too, and hoped to catch some unusual shots but at the end they all looked the same...the ocean.
Love the colour of this shell.

This a retired train station that is used as the local museum. It's also a great place for souvenirs and local artisans. This is one of my fav shots of the day, I still don't know what I'm doing with the camera with it's angles and zooms, but it's always a surprise when I see the shots I've taken.

This was the extent of my body in the water.
I stayed into mid afternoon soaked up lots of sun, felt the quiet solitude of the ocean and had some fun chatting with other people hanging out too. Being outside like that reminds of how vast we really are, and it takes nature to reminds us, we can't be contained in small boxes.

Amen, sister. From the ocean we emerged and to the ocean we return(in the summer,at least). Nice pix.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pix. From the oean we emerged and to the ocean we return (at least I try to several times a year). Does this mean you're going to be a fellow beach bunny.
