hello from the coast!

i just love the ocean.

any body of water, really. lake pond river ocean stream. doesn't matter. but ocean is my favorite (shh, don't tell the others).

something about the smell, the sights, the sounds- it's absolutely mesmerizing. i get to the beach and feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. i can breathe better, think better. everything IS better. i could live here and die here and be amazingly content. or... i could just come visit as often as i can and be great with that, too. :)

here are a few snaps from the camera, of what my friend colette and i saw on a perfect fall night. all photos by me except the shot OF me, which is by colette. uh- i now tend to make crazy faces in front of the camera. unintentionally. this one's tame, relatively speaking... oh dear. :) :)
