Life has handed me a glorious opportunity this year.
I have been able to take the summer off.
There were a couple of days here and there to which I had committed but for the most part, me and the Summer were gonna make out in the tall grass. We were gonna frolic in the sand, exchange salty kisses in the ocean.
Winter was like a bad long-term relationship and once we finally broke up, I flirted with Spring, but really, Spring is just a fling... but Summer.. oh we had something special.
We had plans.
It couldn't have been simpler . There were only 2 things on the list:
1. Swim
2. Write
I swam
1 out of 2 ain't bad.
Sorry, Unfinished Novel, perhaps you and I will snuggle when it gets a bit cooler. But Summer and I still have a lot of hot dates.

summer sigh
I knew this day would come.
This day, the 1st of September.
The end of the summer.
Sure there are still nice days ahead, but it's just not the same.
September is here. There is a feeling.
It was cool this weekend, so cool I had to shut my window for the first time in months.
Today it was so humid there was no relief.
Welcome to the East Coast.
I knew this day would come.
And it hits me with a panicked thought...
Now, every swim might be the last.
It wasn't a bad summer. It wasn't a great summer. It was a fast summer.
Where it went, I still can't say. It washed away like sand in the tide. It was unstoppable.
It was a blur.
But there were beaches.
Not as often as I would like, but then it could never be enough.
The season was off to such a great start, as swimming began in early June. It was unbelievably warm, probably due to Hurricane Arthur that blew up the east coast. And though it didn't stay that warm, there were still some great days in the sand, sea and surf.
And I managed to grab a few shots that I really liked
Cooked a bit..
Then more beaches
and some time enjoying my city

going on record
I can safely say that this has been the best summer.
Ever.
The weather has been gorgeous, hot, sunny. Right now the humidity is high, but I don't even care.
Trips to the beach have been plentiful and glorious.
Sunsets have stopped my breath.
Salt water has been warm (Atlantic warm) and healing and invigorating.
I am never happier than when I am at the beach, so the past three months have been happy happy happy.
I just want to go on record as saying that.
