I love the ocean. The relaxing sounds of the waves, the soft breezes, the cool & wet sand below my feet, the cries of the seagulls, and sun beating above. In my younger days, I would take annual trips to the beach and just enjoy the afternoon there with my book.

The hotel Coronado....very nice place...but a very long bridge to get to it!! Nice ABC Wed!
ReplyDeleteJe te souhaite un Happy Halloween ;o))
ReplyDeleteOlivier, Happy Halloween à vous! Merci pour s'arrêter par mon blog. (I hope that is the correct translation.)
ReplyDeleteNeva, I didn't have a car so I took public transportation to Coronado that looks like a cable car with the windows open. It was quite refreshing with all that wind in my face.
ReplyDeletegreat photos
ReplyDeleteYou have really done some traveling and your ocean pictures are just beautiful! I love the clouds in that first one.
ReplyDeleteOh the ocean. I too am a big fan of the sea and make sure I visit regularly with Wilma.
ReplyDeleteLovely post.
I love the ocean too - you had quite a view in Penang! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - great 'O'. I have the sea in my blood and could never live far from it. Love that sky, I could watch it for an age.
ReplyDeleteI want to go to Hawaii so bad. Thanks for posting a picture of Diamond Head, it is my favorite mountain.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the rocks at la jolla. Its a kind of brooding photo.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a lovely place. Now I feel like taking some time off work for a holiday.
ReplyDeleteUm... WOW... I want to be holidaying there. *pouts* makes Sydney look like child's play.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I especially like the first photo of the clouds, a lovely contrast and detail.

Thanks Ackworth for dropping by.
ReplyDeleteDot, I agree that random clouds such as those are certainly interesting. It's hard to catch a bad day in San Diego.
ReplyDeleteDenise, I agree that the ocean really draws me in more than deserts, mountains, or meadows.
ReplyDeletekml, the Penang picture was taken in 2002. Definitely a lovely part of the island.
ReplyDeleteWalksfarwoman, I would love to live by the ocean, but it's too expensive. And, there's the cold and fog one has to deal with, at least from the California coast.
ReplyDeleteDigital Flower Pics, the best time to go to Hawaii is between Sept. thru Nov. when it's the least expensive.
ReplyDeleteMike, anytime is a good time for oceanfront vacation.
ReplyDeleteStuart, I would think Sydney would have beautiful beaches? One of these days, I'll go to AU, but, celebrating Christmas in the summer feels strange to us northern hemisphere people. :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice views.
ReplyDeleteThanks,

Thanks Oswegan for your comments.
ReplyDeleteThe ABC Wednesday photos are fantastic, so clear and alluring. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynette. We share the same ocean. Your Columbia River is quite breathtaking too.
