Lazy Saturday

What to do when you sleep 4.5 hours longer than intended? Write a blog. After finally getting myself out of bed, dressed, and coffeed(yes, I am a grammar offender) while listening to my Bon Iver pandora station because I finally jumped onto that bandwagon and accepted that they are perfect blog writing music and my "Set Fire to the Rain" station had been inundated by a bunch of 10 year old pop that I like but was not wanting to hear. (Not even sure that paragraph makes any sense but I'm not fixing it.)

Today I felt like sharing some photos of the beach from yesterday. I hope you don't mind seeing some photos of gray Carmel, CA. 

Didn't think so!

Cute little chipmunk! I have told Nick that when I pull out my camera and snap photos like I've never seen a place before to just tell everyone that I'm from Canada. Although now I am realizing that Canada is probably much more scenic than Carmel so maybe someplace in the middle of America without beaches would be more suiting? 

In any case, I play the "tourist at home" role well.

Nick's goal in going to the beach was to get his feet warm in the sand. It was pretty cold but the sand was still nice so I thought I'd share this to make you all jealous. Hate me, I don't currr. (Bad Bay Area slang being used by a white girl. Check!)

Sea glass washed up! So pretty, I wanted to keep it but it was pretty so I wanted other people to see it too so I just took a picture.

The water had a green tint, gross or awesome? You decide.

I never get tired of this view! So incredibly blessed that this is 30 mins from my house!

First try for a photo together and it doesn't suck? We'll take it!

The following photos are of a dog that I don't know. I saw it when we got there and thought it was the cutest dog and knew that he wanted to be my friend but I didn't want to steal it so immediately in front of the owner. Later, this little cutie came to visit Nick and I as we sat in the sand.

To this dog's owner: If you happen to stumble upon this blog please don't hate me for photographing your dog, he's just so cute!

This was totally "from the hip" also known as creeper photography. I didn't want to be too obvious about my photographing the dog but he just needed his picture taken and I got this! I told Nick that I should be a pro. dog creeper photographer and he agreed.

Seriously, don't you just want to hug him?! 

I hope you are all enjoying your day! My plans include going to a coffee shop and reading, most probably. I've been reading Jane Eyre for the first time and I love it! I managed to never read it in High School because apparently my teachers hated me. 

Also, I plan to have some quiet time (time with God) because I haven't been doing that nearly as much as I should and my soul feels it. Have you ever experienced that?

Have a blessed and beautiful weekend, folks!
