Gazing into my new Crystal Ball

I have always been a creative person.  I am currently in a creative hump.  I can NOT find a creative bone in me.  So when I get like this I hop on Instagram, Pintrest and Flickr to find some creativity.   I saw some photos of crystal ball photography and fell in LOVE.  I think this may be a new passion of mine. I have always said I wanted a crystal ball, well now I got one.  

These photos are taken at Blind Pass Beach in Englewood, Florida.  I have had not been to this beach but liked it a lot.  It is a no frills beach.  For me that means quiet and serene.  The beach today was a bit choppy which is unusual as it is the Gulf of Mexico.  

Everything is your life is a reflection of a choice you have made.  If you want a different result, make a different choice. 

I am so fortunate that I live is such a beautiful place.  I can go to the beach for an hour or so and recharge myself.  This beach nicknamed Middle Beach is actually Blind Pass Beach in Englewood, Florida.   Middle beach is located on Manasota Key, halfway between Englewood Beach and Manasota Beach. 
On this day I needed a recharging.  It is a quiet beach with lots of beachcombers looking for sharks teeth.
This is one of my happy places.

Happiness is...... the Beach

I love the beach, always have always will.  Everything about it, the warmth the sun shines on me, the salty air, the sand between my toes.  I love to hear the sound of the waves crashing, sea gulls cry and children having fun.
Every time I go to the beach I always bring home shells that I find interesting.  It always amazes me that I am drawn to a certain kind of different shell each time I go shell collecting.  

Siesta Key Photo Walk

 I went for a photo walk with a good friend of mine who loves taking photos as well.  She took me down a few side streets of Siesta Key that I have never been down.  I kinda feel silly admitting that.  But it is true, I have always stayed to the main street of the village.  I was so happy to find all sorts of colors in the signs, the houses and also found a quiet little beach.

                                                          Dolphins on the Key

                                                                  I love signs!!!!

                                                                         A quiet oasis

                                   The sign reads:  The average dog is nicer than the average person.

                                                 another sign.... this one  is so much fun!!

                                        And who wouldn't want to sit by this pool!!!!!
