the beach

the first time i ever saw the ocean i got a lump in my throat the size of...an ocean. last week i spent a lot of time watching the waves and the water. always makes me feel better. the tide will always be there. these are beach shots from various days.



some sections of the beach are coral rock. worn down over thousands of years it can be smooth or rough (probably depending on its age). i love how the pools of water settle in it, you can often find little animals in them.



uuuh i can hear these swishing in the wind. and the waves. oh man.





nice football shirt. just take that shiz off, you on the beach.







requisite foot shot:









HONK HONK

just when i thought the beach couldn't get better, this little imp pops up over a dune. her name was dixie, and it was love. she belongs to one of the villas - not to a person, but to the house itself. she has the run of the beach.



i actually screamed when i first saw her. she surprised me. it was a TV moment.





barking at a sea urchin. then throwing it up in the air and chasing it.



when you pick her up her eyes immediately squint and she calms right down and just sits there.



look how tiny!!!



oh dixie, i will be back for you. i'm not normally into small dogs, but for you, JUST for you, i will make any exception.
