The view...

is just one of the many reasons why I love where I live. All of this, a mere 20 minutes from my door. Yes, it really is this color IRL.



This picture was taken less than an hour ago. Today is one of those perfectly beautiful blue sky days. We get a lot of those around these parts :-) Alas, the water is not always this calm. Being on the Atlantic side, the waves pick up when it's windy...and, as you can tell, today is not windy in the least. It is hot, muggy, still-aired...and summer doesn't even officially begin until next month! Looks like the dog days are already upon those of us not too far from the Tropic of Cancer. Summer is my absolute favorite season, as if you couldn't tell.
