A sandy path through colorful beach grasses on the way to the Atlantic ocean ... just over the hill ... you can hear the ocean calling your name.
It's been a long time since I've been to the ocean with my family ... a long time since my feet got burned by the white-hot sand, a long time since my ears heard the breakers before my eyes saw them. Not sure how many years exactly, but too many for beach-loving-little-me.
Not at all sure, but I may have taken this image as many as 10 years ago, at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I can't access the original, so I can't be certain, but it was probably taken with a little point and shoot camera that was my first digital. I knew nothing about composition at the time (well, don't really KNOW that much more, now!) but I think I got lucky with this shot. The image itself in its many and various versions has been carried over from computer to computer all these years because I loved it. Not quite sure why, as it doesn't include the ocean itself, nor does it show blue skies, or even fun, scary stormy clouds. But to me it just says "Beach." So ... here it is ...
