My favorite place

The sun is blindingly bright and scorching to your skin. You can feel a light, warm, gentle breeze, and the water feels like a Jacuzzi. The smell of the salt air, sun block, and someone barbecuing are all delightful to your senses. You get to listen to the waves crashing on the shore, people playing in the water or maybe a game of volleyball.  It is always fun to hear the seagulls fighting over food especially when they sound like they are saying, “mine, mine, mine” from “Finding Nemo”. The warm sand on your skin is soothing and feels pleasant until you get wet and then it just sticks to all of you. Watching people fly kites or play Frisbee is fun and entertaining. When you get in the water and just lay on your back, let the waves rock you back and forth like a baby in a cradle and dream away.




I commented on Andrea Fergusson's and Emma Anderson's blogs.

  1. Even before scrolling down to the picture, I could tell that you were writing about the beach, even though you didn't directly state it. I especially like the last sentence, "When you get in the water and just lay on your back, let the waves rock you back and forth like a baby in a cradle and dream away." It sounds so whimsical! The picture is really pretty, too. Is your favorite place any beach, or is it one specific beach?

  6. I liked the Finding Nemo reference, too. That's really amusing that you hear the birds squawking in that same way, as well, because that is an inside joke between my husband and I every time we hear the gulls. Great! I really enjoyed your description.
