Missing the Ocean

We won't be able to get to the beach this summer which makes me miss the water even more.  Here's to you oceans of the world:

Are they beautiful or what?  White gold with diamonds and onyx for the eyes. From the Animal World collection  

It's no joke that Dolphins are beautiful and intelligent creatures, I have watched them for myself swim along side boats as though escorting the boat and the people in it.

Coming a cross a pod of whales in the ocean is breathtaking because you can appreciate how beautiful they truly are, you also realize your on their turf, your not at Sea World.  

You can hear them, they're shiny and enormous they're beautiful.  They swim under your boat and come out on the other side, its truly an amazing.

They are seen frequently off of the San Juan's, swimming along to their destinations.   By law you must turn off the engine to your boat and give them the right-of-way.

I grew up on the coast, can you tell I miss the water?

Do you like the ocean/beach what do you like the most about it.

On another note, my business cards came in today, finally.

What do you think?
