Well of course it's when I'm down at the beach, but also when I'm sitting out on my front porch or out on the back deck, or propped up in our Craftmatic adjustable bed surrounded by our dogs.

I love the Beach! The beach in Tahiti, you walk a long ways before it drops. It's mostly sand. The beach in Lebanon, you can also walk a long ways before it drops but it's more rocky with different wild life in it.

I like to go to Laguna or New Port Beaches. Mainly because there are less people there, they're cleaner than the other beaches to me. As far as more beach animal wild life, I find it best to head North along the coast. I want to move to Santa Maria, it just calls me.

Wow! That is breath breathtakingly beautiful Vintagefemme, I had no idea. Thank you for sharing that. I have to go visit it now.

I've visited there! It's very quiet and beautiful! Thanks for sharing VintageFemme!

It's really quite perfect. I hope you do get to visit and experience it for yourself!

Me too, I love to travel. We are really very lucky to live on such a beautiful planet.

Thank you VintageFemme very much.

on an island in the Aegean-

A little spot in the middle of Nowhere, Mississippi. There is a pond and a pier. The reflection of the tall pines off of the glassy pond can seem quite surreal when the wind isn’t blowing.

Heaven
 

The city lights at night
Street life
Walking into the dark
3am
Eating at Denny's
Looking for the morning sky
Heading home
A loooong kiss.. "welcome back."

Slice of Heaven
 

On the boat speeding along with the sun on my face and the wind in my hair.

Fine dinning with dear friends for a long evening of good conversation.

Home alone with the kitties after a long week of hard work.

My mom's smile.

Family time.

Life is fun. :)

Tucked away in a little cabin in the Adirondacks... where I step outside and right into my kayak on a small still lake. Headed back to heaven tomorrow but with a few more layers on and a good amount of fire wood. 😊

Sonoma County. I fear returning and finding it changed from the fires.

My cousin Jeff (and his wife and kids) lives in Napa....We used to go down to Napa years ago, when it was a quiet, relatively unheard of region in the Sonoma Valley wine country.

Things have changed greatly there. And the fires changed things too. (w) (w) (w)

Any Michigan Avenue street corner in Chicago during the hustling and bustling time of the holidays :smileyXmasTree:

I was in Napa last year at this time. I did some Christmas shopping. It isn't a tiny town now, I agree. I don't think the fires caught in the town though. They did in Santa Rosa, though, which while not picturesque, was a favorite place to go. The Russian River brewery, especially. I haven't even looked it up. I am grateful that Forestville and Guerneville were spared. And Sebastepol.
