 I love to walk the beach |
 Hear waves, feel sand: sea water heals all |
 Water sometimes green |
 Water often calm |
 Water sometimes sprays! |
 Rocks at low tide reveal geology |
 Sand patterns form from retreating water |
 I write Mom's name in shells each vacation trip |
 I buy Mom an orchid and throw one flower into the waves on last day |
 We love photographing sunsets |
 Catalina Island from The Beaches Cottage (Bette Midler movie) |
 Sky, clouds, sun, ocean, foam, sand |
 Notice water colors |
 Splashing waves |

 Sea Lion |
 I sensed I was watched, looked up, and saw this Harbor Seal looking at me |
 Lots of stairs down from Rustic Loft |
 Lots of stairs up to Ruby's Cafe |
 Lunch at Beachcomber's gets thumbs up |
 Cold after sun goes down |
 Waking up to ocean view is THE BEST |
 I always buy one sweater or jersey |
 I write my bird sightings in cottage journal |
 I write personal observations about my vacation visit |
 Cottages awaiting restoration will be $ millions |
 Vacation view of ocean soothes my soul |
 Our holiday card for 2017! |
 Looking forward to our next vacation stay at Crystal Cove! |
