California Trip Part Seven (time at the beach)

It was probably one of the most gorgeous days to be at the ocean.  The bright blue of the sky, and the cold saltiness of the waves, the perfect warmth.  Laura and I spend some time in the waves, but before, I got a few shots of the gorgeous day.  Pismo Beach in the sunlight on a gorgeous December day. 

I fell in love with surfing with a board... And Laura and I had so much fun in the waves... even when our feet became immobile from the coldness of the water.  :)  We rented one body board, and one boogie board and went back and forth, going further and further out, catching more and more waves.  When we both got our first splash of ocean water in the mouth, we were both exclaiming how we didn't remember it being so salty.  :)  There was plenty of funny moments when the board would go one way, and us another, feet in the air.  I loved surfing with Laura!  We didn't spend a lot of time in the waves because the water was so cold, and having frozen feet doesn't always help much.  But it was wonderful.  And addictive.  I could surf for a long time.  The beach was incredible.

If I lived near the ocean, I would surf.  A lot.  I love the water.  I love the feel of the waves pushing and pulling and of the sun in my face.  I love salt water.

Seashells!

 Horizon is a little crooked, but I love the picture.

This is one of those impossible pictures.  Yes, the water was that blue.  The sky was incredible.  And the water was so incredibly clear.
