I Bring The “Beach” Inside
I thought I would join in this week with something I haven’t participated in for awhile, The Word Press Daily Prompt. Besides, I love the theme of “Beach” ………
It has been years since I went to any ocean beach. I had relatives when I was young that lived in the coolest town named Mukilteo.
The place is close by Everette, Washington State. These were my Pacific Ocean Days.
I lived In Florida- Pensacola for several years. Those were My “Atlantic Ocean” Days. Which ocean do you prefer? I actually like the wild Pacific, but then when you are a kid it just seems a tad more magical, so I may be biased because of age.
Now I am so far away from those beaches in Missouri.
There are some nice shorelines around other water bodies here, but I miss the ocean trips.
So I came up with an idea to correct in my own home, the ocean:
Wood and Rock Sailboat on beach wall art.
Miniature Owl relaxing by the water on the beach. For sale in my Etsy Shop: Dappled Moon Fancies .

I love this. Absolutely love this. I’m an ocean person too. Have lived near to the Atlantic all my life (NYC and Miami). I’m in the process of moving to Jacksonville. I visited the Pacific a few years ago when celebrating my then 90 year old aunt’s birthday. It is wild and magical. But, I have an attachment to the Atlantic Ocean.

I miss the beach, Nike. I never knew you lived in New York. My son was living in Stuart up the Atlantic coast for a couple years. Thanks for your comment.

Stuart is where the airport is, right? I know the general area. My brother lives in Duchess County. In fact, I’m going to visit him and his wife today.

My son is here visiting, but I will ask him. He flies a lot so it is probably there. He says it is ritzy and does not care for it, so he is moving. He works and drives cruise ships in the summer in Alaska. After that, he may move back where we are or where is older brother and family are still in Washington.

My son says they have an airport that the blue angels fly out of. He hasn’t ever flown out of there. Have a great weekend Nike.

I don’t know anything about the Blue Angels flying there, but it’s a modern airport.

Beautiful art to bring the beach into your home, reminded me of a full wall mural a friend did for me setting sand, shells and some seaweed into it. Altho I no longer live there many others have had the joy of that refreshing mural!

Loved this! Something “spiritual” about the beach and ocean right? I am a “UGE” Lighthouse collector… Cat
