summer vacation this year will be spent visiting a beach or two. beachcombing holds fond memories. i use to be a more of a beach girl. now i favor trees and pockets of calm protected water. of course i admire the landscape, texture and crisp freshness of the rugged open seashore, it's impossible to dismiss it. have a refreshing week.
