On Thoughts of the Beach

As summer arrives with its increasingly warm and sunny weather it’s not all that unusual for one’s thoughts to begin wandering to spending more time outdoors. And, common among these are thoughts of visiting the beach!
(excuse the reflections, it's ridiculously hard to take a
photo of this display case in the morning) 



Many activities come to mind when the beach is mentioned, including, but not limited to sunbathing, swimming, going for a stroll along the shoreline, and, in the case of the younger age group, collecting shells and building sandcastles (not that age should prevent one from doing either). While for some this could be as simple as grabbing a towel and taking a short drive and for others requires quite a bit more preparation and a long trip, it is certainly undeniable that any of these activities could lead to a delightful day in the sun accompanied by a refreshing ocean (or lake) breeze.



What's not love about this adorable crab?
 
Whether you’ll be heading off to the beach this summer or are just planning to soak up some sun at home, I hope your summer is off to a lovely start. Happy second day of summer!

  1. We're nothing short of spoiled for choice when it comes to beaches around these parts (thanks to two large lakes in our own town, plus numerous others that are swim-able in within a relatively small radius), and I so adore spending time frolicking in the sand all throughout the summer months (not today though, it's raining cats and dogs!).

    Happy start of summer to you as well, dear gal!

    1. My goodness no, it certainly wouldn't do to go to the beach in the rain! Hope it will be drying up soon, so you can start enjoying some fun in the sun!
