A to Z Challenge: Oceans


Above is a picture of the Atlantic Ocean taken by me a couple (probably a few) of years ago. Location Neptune Beach, Florida if anyone is wondering. The Oceans change constantly. They wash away things. Things crumble into them. Things wash up from them. Oceans get moody. Still something about oceans that are a constant for me.

Maybe the ocean is a parallel or a refection of my life, my dreams, and my existence. Don't our lives change constantly? Doesn't life wash up surprises on us? Don't we loose things in this journey?

I don't live on the beach but it is a very short drive. Funny thing is the area I am at is known for the white sands. The white sands are due to the Appalachian Mountains that have been reduced to sand. Ironically I moved here from an area in the Appalachians.



Above Perdido Key on the Florida Alabama border I believe.

The Gulf being a little moody..



Above is the Gulf of Mexico from Pensacola Beach, Florida. Maybe I will just sail off into an ocean..

A to Z Challenge: D for Destin



Above is a picture of a sunrise over Destin, Florida. The city claims a great motto "The World's Luckiest Fishing Village." I've had some luck fishing out of there so I can vouch for the slogan.

The town is also a popular destination for tourists. Jimmy Buffett has one of his restaurants down by the water...

Jimmy's Margaritaville...



You might even see a Pirate ship...




However, I like the peacefulness of the wee hours. When people are scarce and the bustle comes from the towns other residents,.



Makes me wonder if the early bird gets the fish? I hope you enjoyed the photos I took of Destin, Florida. Thanks for visiting! I will have an A to Z post regarding E on Monday!
