clear water






I thought you might like a day
at the beach...
it has been a while...



Mr. LDV spirited me away last weekend...
to 
Clearwater Beach...
I had never been...
but knowing that I am a beach bum 
of the "loll and gaze" type, 
he thought I might like it...








looking like a Rothko, the water, the current and the sand...



you can keep the Atlantic side with the crashing waves...
the Gulf side is far more peaceful and meditative for 
for a simple girl like me...





sea grapes and grasses... in a warm ocean breeze...




never do I miss the water more than when I am far from it...
spending 20 years in Colorado and being land locked, 
it was my friends who
buoyed me...




at mid day, trying to find a nice spot...



the sand is so brilliant white...
almost blinding and so soft on the feet...





Rothko number 2...



and the color of the water, the sound of the water,  
and the brilliance of the sky is so mesmerizing...
no matter who you are, you simply must surrender to the 
enchantment..









do take off your sandals and walk a bit in the water...









as you see, everyone enjoys a day at the beach...
and town is just a quick walk back...






under the shade of the Live Oaks..




I hope you enjoyed your visit... stop by anytime...
it is definitely snack time..
what say we go get a bite?
