I love, no really love, the ocean

I love camping by the ocean....

.....and contemplating the ocean from the vantage point of a kayaker.

...I feel blessed that we can keep our kayak so close to our campsite.

..sunset paddles...

.....stormy paddles (with our pup).

I love the feeling of peace that being next to the water brings...

And the peace of a campfire right next to the ocean?...the best.

The ocean has many personalities and colors....

Incredible blues....

and green-blues at low tide.

I love being on the water with my kids....

And we love exploring uninhabited islands.

One speaks of catchlights in someone's eyes in a photo..but I love the catchlights sparkling from the water.

.....and contemplating far off places over the expanse of the sea.

By the way...I love popovers, too.
