Anti-Sensory Overload
My friend Janet "slmret" here on xanga, treated Hubby and I to a trip to Crystal Cove near Laguna Beach. When we first arrived, the fog was rolling in onto the beach and it seemed beautiful and ethereal. I thought it would be a great place to film a mystery movie, written by Mary Higgins Clark. As we walked along, Janet and I were clicking away with our cameras and I was imagining who would be living/vacationing in the once adorable cottages. What were the characters doing? I saw an overturned, faded blue boat. In my mind, it fit perfectly into the story I began to concoct. Soon, though, my mystery story faded away with the fog because there was so much to look at and so much to enjoy, along with Janet's and my hubby's company. An outdoor shower once upon a time, rinsed off endless particles of sand. A wayward ball sat in the green growth for who knows how many years. A vintage mailbox once held mail. From home? This is a place I'd love to vacation in. One can always dream.

How pretty, I love each picture. The overturned boat is a great one. I saw you taking pictures in a picture over at ABAHM!
How I wish I could stand on that lovely wet sand! I've never been to Cal., but would love to go someday! Hope your trip was fun, I'm sure it was!
really wonderful pics!
These are wonderful. Isn't it funny how homey and interesting those houses are?! A nice slice of old fashioned beach life.
@Neeka1 - Thank you, Necia! Hugs back to you!
@Elizabethmarie_1 - Hi Liz! I hope you get to go to CA sometime! It really is beautiful and varied. Once we get through the smog from Palm Springs to LA, and get to the coast, it's fabulous. It WAS a fun trip, especially after meeting Jenny, Mary and Janet! And David and Bob!
@floridayankees - Thank you, Jill! I hope you're doing well! I've gotta get caught up with you peeps!
@ABAHM - Jeeeeeenny! Yay, it's you! I love how you said that they are "a nice slice of old-fashioned beach life"! I took several cottage pix but haven't (obviously) posted them! I MISS you! Did I say that loud enough? ( 8
Love, Love, LOVE the pics!
Wonderful pics. Now, go work on that mystery!
Great shots, Gail -- see my comment on your next earlier post -- I'm finally catching up!
