It's been a few weeks since I've been to the beach, and I blame it on the weather. It's been about a million degrees, with several fires blazing in the hills surrounding Los Angeles, all acting like a furnace for the city. Normally hot weather like this will send me scrambling to the ocean with boogie board in tow. But the general lack of air quality has sucked my will to venture outside or even open the windows. I've started exclaiming every five minutes that "It's so (insert adjective here) hot!"
But looking at these photos is cooling me off. Isn't that the gauge of good art -- evoking emotion and stirring the imagination? These photos are making me FEEL something, so I'll consider them a success. If only I were close enough to the ocean to feel that cool breeze right this moment ...
beautiful photos. i love the beach.
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and yes, they definitely are invoking emotion in me. I seriously started to get a little choked up because summer is ending, and we don't have a beach..so that means winter will be here soon.
ReplyDeleteThe hubs first boogie boarding experience was this July!! I didn't think I would ever get him out of there!
good god, i know, it's been so bloody hot lately that making the effort of donning a swimsuit only puts one into heavy perspiration.
ReplyDeleteand in response to kate8085: my husbane won't stop boogie boarding either, which is now pretty much the only reading time i get!
