I like to listen to the sounds of the water and enjoy the view of the water/waves. If I'm someplace where the waters are warm, I like to get in the water and snorkel.
ReplyDeleteWhen I used to go to the beach when I was a kid, I would go in the water up to my ankles and that's as far as I would go in.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing is to read while hearing the surf and the birds and the smell of the ocean and the wonderful breezes with an occasional cooling off in the water.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat job
I love this idea and wish I had thought of it. I just wish I had a color printer so I could print this awesome picture to take around with me. I'm sure my daughter Clare would love to help out. Maybe Jane Austen at a rock concert??? :)
ReplyDeleteI like to walk on the beach.
ReplyDeleteCool water sand BBQ with family

I like to read and build sandcastles with the little kids.
ReplyDeleteI would like to sit under a big umbrella and read and also take a long walk on the beach.
ReplyDeleteHunt for agates and look for shells. Love it when I find old or foreign bottles!
