This is it! The day I’ve been waiting for – that perfect day at the beach. The morning is bright and clear and I’m out the door, my towel and Travis McGee novel tucked under my arm. As I top the dunes I pause. Before me lies the most beautiful beach basking under its glorious sky. And I have it all to myself!
I can dream, can’t I?
A simple life is good with me. I don’t need a whole lot. For me, a T-shirt, a pair of shorts, barefoot on a beach and I’m happy.

For the curious: The image is taken from a photograph I made several years ago at Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. After tweaking and cropping, I added textures and borders using Perfect Effects 9 Suite plug-in.
