Are you tired of beach photos yet?
I certainly hope not.
I try to walk as far as I can a couple of days a week....
some black labs and kids in tow...
I wander and think.
They run around and climb rocks
searching for glass, hermit crabs, rocks & such
or they might throw a bit of sea kelp at one another....
this usually results in a bit of squabbling.
It isn't hot & sunny
instead it's usually overcast and chilly
just warm enough to unzip your jacket as you run along.
(or wear a vest and t-shirt when I used to be a local)
And yet, I realize this summer more than ever
I never come here for the weather
it's the beach
the people
the mountains and forest that tumble into the sea
the hiking and grilled salmon and fellow knitters
sunshine is always a celebrated bonus
but never necessary
just as long as I can walk along this shore, the trip is complete....
