Sand in my soul...

Apr 27, 2006 16:14

Waking up to a thunderstorm was an absolute delight this morning. I miss rain. A lot. Lately I have found myself defending the fact that I have always chosen to live in a tropical (or at least warm) climate - Florida and California ( Read more... )

Try listening to the Byrd's cover of "Mr. Tambouine Man" while watching the sun set over Mission Bay in San Diego, particularly if your brain is struggling to incorporate a few extra chemicals.

Sunset on the water is such a West Coast thing that that's how Sunset Magazine got its name, though I imagine you get some stunners in West Florida.

Best one ever for me: standing on the sand spit at Cape Flattery at the tip of Washington's Olympic Peninsula and watching the the spectrum downshift over weather-worn, rocky headlands in a 180 degree view north, west, and south. Purple clouds, vermillion water.

P.S.: I'm seeing a possible personal ad for you..."loves navigating boats by starlight, long walks on a beach at sunset, and peeing in the ocean...." I guarantee you'll get some kind of response.

Oh I can just see the MySpace freaks lovin' that bio...

Um best sunset - Zuma, 1998, greatly altered, the sun looked as though it was setting right into our bonfire. Good. Stuff.

Zuuuuuuma.

Oh man. Hadn't thought of that place for years. Beautiful beach. That sounds incredible.

I will say that having seen the leaves change for the first time ever this year was a very eye-opening experience. It was a pretty dark and cold winter, metaphorically speaking, but spring arriving and the arrival of our new little guy has given spring a particularly joyful meaning for me... so sacrificing the water for a change of seasons has been worth it for me.

But it's important to focus on what makes us happy and run with it, eh?
