and a little bit in between.....

just a stroll to the west of us

is the bay

and

late tuesday afternoon

the water was like glass

it was as breathtaking as the ocean

i've always wondered why seaside feels so safe

well

now i know

superman and batman

live here

these birds truly are beautiful

and

sometimes they're messy and loud

but i love them

anyway

the wave wasn't even close to being as big as i thought it was going to be

so jumping on the sandbar was a breeze

even though i looked like a dork

there aren't many seashells on the beach

but

broken pieces of sand dollars are everywhere

and

of course the heart shaped ones are the most special

when we used to come here in october

it was common to see the washed up jellyfish

but

i've never seen one this time of year

and

of course

just a stroll to the south of us

is

this
