the sun is shining...

life by a beach is so seasonal. it is quiet and peaceful for most of the year here and then once summer hits (especially this month as so many take holiday in august) the air and sidewalks are buzzing with activity, conversation, late night singing and music, and the sounds of mid-day meals of people all eating outside in their gardens. i love the shifts - much like the tides themselves - predictable and yet not but constant nonetheless. from sleepy winter beach town to a bright and rambling summer vacation spot full of energy and vibrancy.
