Wish I could tell you that I packed up some kind of culinary delight picnic dinner but, alas, I had too much work to do. My over 40 brain can only handle so many tasks before it hits the overload button! Had to settle for the "gourmet" deli at Safeway for "California Dreamin" sandwiches, chips (in the crunchy bio-degradable bag!) and some lovely cold beer.
You heard that right, I drank beer. It was absolutely the perfect drink for a hot sunny early evening at the beach.
(PS I DID NOT find this conch shell here - my mom gave it to me years ago, thought it might be a good photo shoot prop)
- Wine Charms to re-shoot
- Shells to use as props (kinda heavy)
- beach towel
- camera
- iphone
- extra bag for shells or sea glass
- sweatshirts (just in case)
- napkins (I am a messy sandwich eater)
- sandwiches
- chips
- beer
- wine/beer opener (stays in the bag)
What do you think of our view from our impromptu beach towel picnic spot? Not too bad for a Wednesday night after work.
Photo shoot was a little tough, light was not quite right, my pretty little charms were not showing up right on the sand beach. So frustrating! Oh well, just gives me another excuse to go back to the coast this weekend...
We met several people also enjoying our sunset, and they were kind enough to volunteer to take our picture. Yes, that is my WSU Cougar Mom sweatshirt!
And now for our stunning sunset......
I think I have become a California girl.
P.S. Please please make sure to stop by the Everything Coastal Style Blog today and meet Tricia Rose, the creator of "Rough Linen"!
I love your sunset photos! Those ship charms are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your page. Your photos are beautiful. I love the giant conch shell you used for a photo..great idea. The sunsets were wonderful. Wished I lived near a beach...but being in Missouri I'll just have to continue to make them my vacation spots.

What a completely gorgeous, thing to do... And wasn't it worth (as these types of things always turn out to be). The photos are magical. Glad you enjoyed a cold beer... I'm not a beer drinker but became a "Rolling Rock" addict when my hubby and I lived in NYC... Loved the stuff. Have a great LONG weekend you lucky thing. Pruxxx
ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures! those sandwiches and beer sound perfect, and I love how you prepare for your photo shoots. Hope you are enjoying this day!
