I would love to be at that beach with the nice umbrella. And a good book...and the I-pod...and maybe with a nice company...
Nice shot!

Love how you included all your themes into one picture.
I would like to be sitting under that umbrella by the beautiful ocean. Ah, what a perfect day to be outside.

Love the photo - my birthday is the 4th, so I'm partial to flags.

Dropping by from Outdoor Wednesday (post #3). If you haven't registered for the glass vessel sink giveaway it's open until 5pm EST Wednesday.

You brought back some very good memories for me. Many years ago we visited the Carlsbad Cravens. It was a nice trip, but I do not feel comfortable underground.

Carolyn Ford said...

LV...this is Carlsbad, California!

Roger Owen Green said...

I'd definitely would be UNDER the umbrella; I burn so easily...

From a fellow San Diegan and beach resident.... if you took this photo today, you captured the moment perfectly. Cool, overcast and lots of blankets to snuggle up in! Great shot.

Ahh - idyllic spot; just the sound of the wind and the waves.

Jingle said...

cute place to be!

Ann said...

They look very relaxed, seems like they have the beach all to themselves, maybe everyone else got out of the way when they saw that umbrella going up.

Bradley Hsi said...

Well composed photo. The man seems so relaxing, I wonder the water must be still cold.

Unknown said...

Umbrella is the best U-word! I used it myself!!
