Warm water, waves, hot sun. Sometimes I just need a beach getaway. It’s a time to reconnect with my roots. While I was in my hometown of Virginia Beach last weekend with some friends from college, I watched dolphins, pelicans, osprey, sand crabs, and lots of people enjoying the atmosphere – including these two ladies. They were so sweet, holding hands, watching the waves and the birds, and walking slowly down the beach. I loved their similar swimswuits, angular postures and bright colors. But then again, I also love watching people as they watch nature. Plus it’s pretty great seeing people respect and admire the ocean and all the wildlife that lives in or off of it.
