"Wordless" Wednesday: Craving....Sand & Surf !



Do you ever get the feelin' that you got to get away?
It's a sympton of the fever all across the U. S. A.

My family doctor told me "son the flu is what you have!"
But I know it's island fever, and I got it real bad.

Hey doc I need a pain reliever!
(Oooo I got it bad) I got the island fever!

I got it bad, I got the island fever!
(Oooo I got it bad) I got the island fever!

from the song: "Island Fever" by The Beach Boys
(Tom Melcher & Mike Love)



Well, we're not getting any beach-time soon...but I have amazing memories of previous vacations spent on sandy shores. 

Watching the waves roll in, clouds drifting in endless shapes and sizes, the sun warming my skin and healing my soul. 

Just looking at these pictures brings a smile to my face, and Joy to my heart as I recall those sensations.  Craving?  Yes.  But happy that I can always return another day....






Pay it forward - spread a smile!

  2. Don't know if you did me a favor, really. Here in the desert the sand is quite different and your pictures made me yearn for a beach. But, I'm grateful for what I have - your pictures. Thanks.

    Ps I felt your abscence. Glad you're back.

  8. Oh, I want to be wherever those pictures were taken! But for now, given my family responsibilities, I will just take local trips --- like a drive down the Northern California coast to a small town where I hear there is a nice restaurant, and then a drive back home at the end of the day.

    I discovered your blog today. Thanks for the nice post.
