What a pretty beach and great shots of it. I just did my first post for this tag too and then went to @kryptonia and saw your task!
I grew up in a beach town, so the ocean is a part of me. It was always there a few blocks away, and I did not think too much about it. I had beach camps in the summer, hung out with friends there, and swam at anytime.
Now I live farther away and don't got over there as much, but I know it's there if I need it.
Once you move away you miss what you had on your doorstep, when we moved down we make sure to get to the beach and not allow it to be forgotten as many do when living in a town along the coast @bxlphabet
