The Sea is Calling Me…

I think I see a kayak ride in my very near future!

Four Seasons Hualalai

Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer

Okay, got this one covered…I’m a California girl through and through and I love Summer! So for this challenge, I couldn’t just do one photo, I had to do a series of them.

Summer to me represents Sun, Surf, Sand and Kayaking so here are a few shots from some Summers past.

Loved this challenge! Heading to Hawaii in about a month so this has put me in the mood. :)

Christmas Countdown: My Happy Place Ornament

Today’s Ornament 

Today’s ornament is a local one. I call this one “My Happy Place” ornament because this is  from Santa Cruz, CA ~ one of my favorite spots to chill and just be myself. The kayak represents my favorite sport, ocean kayaking and I love the easy-going, Beach Boy vibes of a woody…I can hear California Girls playing now. When I see this ornament, it puts a smile on my face, I feel the warmth of the sunshine and I’m floating on the water amongst the sea lions and otters. For me, this is my heaven. What’s yours?
