Beach. Just the thought of a day at the beach evokes dreams of warm sunshine, ocean breezes, swaying palm trees, and sparkling waters. Just what it is that draws us to sit on beaches, riverbanks, and in boats for hours to gaze at the gentle movements of the water? The gentle rhythm of the water is mesmerizing and unexplainably soothing to the soul. The most prevalent substance on the earth inspires us. We love hearing it, smelling it, playing in it, walking next to it, painting it, and writing about it.
