Lens Artists Photo Challenge: Time To Relax
My favorite time to relax is at the beach or the lake. Laguna Lake is within walking distance of our home, but we have to walk up the hill. We usually drive, even though it’s only a three minutes’ drive. On this relaxing walk, I love to take photos of the ducks and geese.
There are several beaches not too far away. On weekends without work traffic, it takes about thirty-five minutes to get there. Sometimes my husband and I go. Other times, I joined a women’s group to go for the walk and breakfast. I especially love to watch the tidal waves filing in. I include the photos of the walk on Newport Beach.
A little further away, my husband and I like to go to Maui, Hawaii. We go there basically to relax. We have been there four times. It feels good when walking on the beach as the waves coming in and wet our feet. Our evening walk would go until sunset. Watching the sun goes down and the sky changes the colors is an amazing experience.

There is absolute nothing more relaxing then water. Even sprinklers bring fun to a day. I especially loved the photo of the ducks. The one in the center has a cute expression and seems to to curious about you. Very nice.

Yes, Cheryl. That’s only island I’ve visited. My husband has been to other islands but I haven’t. He only wants to go back to Maui. If I want to visit other islands, I have to go with my daughter. Her schoolmate is in the Big Island.

No. It’s about an hour’s drive to the beach. I don’t get there often enough though – or to the country.
