A Great Way to Relax

A week ago we were feeling the need to get away and just relax. And what better place to do that than at the beach? Unbeknownst to us, the surf was really high that day, so the soothing sound of the waves was more like a crashing crescendo at times!
The high surf made beautifyl patterns in the sand along the pier.
Yes, some of the waves were up to 25 feet high that day! It was really fun to watch the people surfing...alas, none of the pictures turned out.
No matter what the conditions, the beach is still a lovely place to relax and unwind from the busy pace of life.
This seagull loved swaying in the wind at the top of this tree...
We stayed until sunset, then had supper and drove home via the Pacific Coast Highway. We are very blessed to live so close to the ocean!
