It was too pretty of a day to stay indoors, and I needed to take some pictures for my photography class, so I decided to hit the beach. It was the perfect weather, and there was just enough sunlight to take nice photos for my project.
I was really suprised when I got there because there was barely anyone there. (There were some available parking spots at Newport Beach. I KNOW! When does that ever happen?!) I realized that I wasn't really going to get any pictures because of the lack of people (I was suppose to take action photos of people), so I decided that I would just take it as a sign to relax and enjoy the beach.
It was so wonderful to just enjoy the view, and let my thoughts roll through my head. I saw a little girl trying to fly a kite (she failed, but she was so cute doing it), a Bird Man (That's what he called himself) who let everyone pet his parrots, and a dad trying to teach his daughter how to surf. I was happy. I always feel at ease when I am at the beach (Actually, I always feel at ease when I am in nature). I always forget my problems when I watch the waves crash. It has a way of making my problems feel so small. That's a nice feeling.
I've always lived near the beach. My earlies memories involves me going to the beaches in Japan, and trying to learn how to swim (I remember being able to swim as a child, but I can't really swim now). I love the beach, and I'm glad I can enjoy it even during the winter. I adore California's beaches and weather, and there's nowhere else I'd rather live.
