Good Bye Summer II; Last Run to the Beach

Labor Day- last run to the beach to breathe the warm, salty air into the bottom of my lungs and fill my ears with sand and the rumble of waves calling to me to come in and play. 

I love the beach in the fall and winter, but my relationship with the water is different then.    Invariably, I'll try wading and end up soaked to the waist and frozen.   

Venus, in this cameo, would definitely have her hair slicked back and her Wayfarers on.  Here's to this summer's fun and memories!

And the Gauley River dam releases in September!  Yeah!
