grains of water - a photo on Flickriver

grains of water

Seeing as I moved to L.A., I thought I would venture out into my new world and find a beach. The first one I found was Long Beach. But let me say, even though I am in California, it is by no means warm. Today it was 50 degrees with crazy winds. So when I got to the beach sand was pelting me from all directions and the water was *frigid*. I kind of forgot to account for the massive amounts of wet sand I would be sitting in, and so now I have a date with my car and a vacuum tomorrow.

Oh, and the coast guard drove by twice but I just gave them the thumbs up from my position in the water and they kept going :)
