enjoying the weather while we still can

Last Sunday we were at Half Moon Bay State Beach to celebrate another warm weather. There we sat as kings and queens, facing the Pacific Ocean, under an azure sky, watching nature perform its usual miraculous routine: sun glistening, birds hovering, giant waves curling and crashing onto shore then crawling to us...begging to kiss our royal feet. Tempted, we went closer down by the water's edge and waited for the ocean to breathe...

Sadly, the water was icy cold (eeeeekkk!...) so we stepped back and looked for other fun things to do. We played badminton and volleyball, built sandcastles and cheered a couple of surfer dudes riding the waves. I walked around to take pictures and survey the area. There is an RV park, campground, bluff-top picnic tables and benches, bike trail and a horse trail. I also stumbled upon a park ranger who pointed to me somewhere in the haze the exact spot of the Mavericks, a winter destination for some of the world's best big wave surfers.

Overall it is a beautiful place to be both idle and active - to reflect on life and to experience life. I am so glad we went. Summer is officially over but who cares? For me, it ain't over 'til i freakin' scream "it's over!"
