Sum, Sum, Summertime!

Just another summer day at the beach where everybody craves their small slice of seaside nirvana. 

These images were captured during an afternoon bike ride along the oceanfront boardwalk.

Enjoy Summer

BEER, BEER, WINE, WINE, FOOD?!!!

On my walk yesterday afternoon I decided to take a detour off of the boardwalk.  I was curious to see what our town might look like through the eyes of a tourist.  So, with i-phone camera in hand, I headed down the strip - past souvenir shops, ice cream parlors, restaurants, bars and drug stores.

I had one of those double-take, "You've got to be kidding me" moments when I saw these two signs hanging in the window of a souvenir shop. Really?  Beer, wine, food, coca-cola - are these seriously the ingredients to an enjoyable summer?!  As I continued my walk I knew I had to amend this discrepancy with my own little take on the subject.

BIKE, SURF, WALK, DRINK

I think these four words more adequately describe how one might truly enjoy summer .

Be healthy, be active, have fun.

Coastal Color

A new collection of vibrant images captured around my colorful town.

Beach Cruiser on the boardwalk

8x10 inch print

A walk along the boardwalk provides so much color in the form of people and objects, especially during summertime.  With the beach a 5 minute bike ride from my house this brilliant expanse of color is a view I am lucky enough to see on a daily basis.  Knowing others are not so fortunate, I thought it would be nice to share pieces of my multicolored town.  So I kick off my coastal color collection.

I hope you enjoy this perspective of "my" beach.

The collection will also be available in my MagicMarkingsArt shop.
