The sun may not be up, the sky is so gloomy, but nothing deterred the crowd to stay away from the beach. For us, sea seekers, nothing hampered our drive to Crystal Cove State Beach on the Newport Coast.

Crystal Cove State Beach

Children playing, the sweet scent of the salty sea breeze, or just dipping your feet in the sand

Beach Sand

The sea weeds drifted along the shore line, by the strong, high waves.

Or just watch the splashing of the waters in the tide pool

Tide Pool

At the end of the day, simple pleasures, simple things, I say, life is beautiful.

Life is Beautiful

Enjoy your day.

    Cloudy days pick up the mist from the salt spray. I love the picture of the tide pool and the last photo is very creative. Wonderful captures, Ebie.

  • Lovely views of Crystal Cove … not too far from me. I can’t seem to change the link because of the way your blog doesn’t allow for things, but you’ll find my Watery Wednesday post at Small Reflections.
    Hugs and blessings,

    Sigh … I can’t fix the spelling error either. I realize you don’t want anyone to copy anything, but whatever you’ve done makes it hard to revise comments too.

      Hi, we test the comment part last night, it was working fine, if we make an error, we did back space, although we don’t have a preview choice like blogger does. And for the comment luv plug in, I think we have to sign up with commentluv.com, I do not have any control. Sorry about this.

    Hi Ebie. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment on my Chinese meal post. I love Chinese, but the MSG they use does not like me, so I pay the next day. I will get wise one day and not eat Chinese…

    I totally agree with you, life is beautiful. Much better than the alternative. I love your photos. It’s winter here and I can’t wait for the warmer weather and getting myself wet at the beach.

    Have a nice day…

    to me a gloomy sky is the perfect day for going to the beach (provided it doesn’t rain). i don’t fancy the heat and too much sun when I am outdoor.Trying not to get too tan. hehe…
    btw, beautiful shots.
