I Feel Like I Should Post Something

I feel like I should post something but I don’t know what. I was thinking about trying to sneak up to the ocean for some sunrise pics but I’m way too tired. Maybe Sunday morning. We’ll see.

I’ve done it (sunrise pics) at Salisbury Beach, which is in Massachusetts. I’ve done it at Hampton Beach, which is in New Hampshire. It only makes sense that the next one happens in Maine. Old Orchard Beach has a pier that is super cool and would look really good with some long exposure jazz happening in the water around it, but I am not sure that the sun actually rises over water there. The beach is actually in a bay and the land extends out into the water. If the angle is wrong, the sun would actually rise over the land. I spent some time looking at pics tonight both via Flickr and Google Images and it looks like it might be okay some days but not others. Either that or there was a lot of distance between the camera positions on some of those pics. I don’t know. The pier alone probably makes it okay, but if I am going to drive an hour to see the sunrise, I want to see the damn thing rise over the ocean, not the land. I can do that at home.

There. I felt like I should post something and now I have.

Beach Day

As soon as you walk into the office today it hits you.

HEAT.

Something’s up with our environmental systems and the heat has been blasting like crazy all morning. It feels like it’s 90 degrees in here.

It feels like a beach day.

4th of July

Two years ago we spent the 4th of July at Lake Winnepisaukee. Last year we spent it on Long Lake in Maine. This year, back to Lake Winnepisaukee. We didn’t have a specific beach in mind, but we discovered Carry Beach in Wolfeboro.

We got there before noon and it was wonderfully quiet with only a few people. The water was cool but not too cold, and it was crystal clear. There was even shade on the beach.

As the afternoon wore on it filled up quite a bit, but it never got obnoxious. I would definitely go back there again. I can assume that it will never be as crazy as that other beach. The one in Laconia.

After our beach visit we took the long way home and drove all the way around the lake. Once we got home we watched Monty Python’s The Holy Grail. My step son has declared it the best movie ever. I generally agree.

Salisbury Beach

We were working our way North to Seabrook, NH yesterday and thought we’d say hello to the Atlantic Ocean. We stopped at Salisbury Beach. Waved hello. Fed some sand fleas. Drove away.

Proclamation

Remember this? This was fourth of July weekend in 2009. This was when I proclaimed my love for my beautiful wife by writing it upon the very Earth itself!

Nothing has changed, except that I love her even more than I did then.
