Corner View: The Beach

03 June 2009 Filed In: all the rest, corner view


Well, with all the birthday hoopla lately, about which I will be sharing more details over the next couple of weeks, we definitely did not have a spare moment to head to the beach.  Our local beaches, in the Coney Island area are exciting but melancholy places.  They give me the same mixed up feelings that I used to get when my friends and I visited the traveling fair: rides and fun and seediness and grime all at once.  Butterflies and a tummy ache.

My favorite beaches are a lot more peaceful than the ones in New York City, beaches that are quiet and where the lull and power of the ocean surrounds you.  There is sand to play in, build with, trudge over, and wash off in the shower at the end of the day.  
The picture above is one I took last year when we visited Canouan for my birthday.  It is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth.  
This year we’ll head out to The Cayman Islands later in the month to take a little vacation while my husband is speaking at Engage 09.  Until then, my daughter and her friends entertain us by playing a game called “The Hamptons”- never mind that Mira has never even been to The Hamptons.  A New York Girl through and through.
Take a beach vacay around the world:
