back on the block

The office block that is. A good portion of my holiday was spent in the water. I've come to notice I'm not picky about water temperature for a swim b/c ultimately it's always refreshing. I love a dunk first thing in the morning to wash the cobwebs of sleep and wake me for the day ahead. The coolness of the water feels so amazing on my scalp that I lie back and surf the gentle waves and completely indulge. We had some wonderful lightning storms that allowed us to safely tuck ourselves inside for a game(s) of gin rummy. And yesterday the waves were high and plentiful making it difficult to move far from shore without getting pushed back in. I was watching others around me surfing within the waves and wanting so much to take pictures out there that I've decided my next task will be to find out how to achieve this. Any ideas are appreciated.
I was passed some amazing eye candy this morning that I want to share with you. Check this out. Then click gallery "global summer". After you've oohed and aahed there check out the rest of the site. Bill, I think you'll like some of the urban images. There's also some water images under the gallery "Books" that encourage me further to get a camera out into the water.
Enjoy!
