While I am not a  Pisces, I am a water person and some of my favorite activities involve water - swimming, lakes, baths, boating - I just can’t have those colors in my decor. I need warm earth tones..probably because too much of the cool water stuff and I can’t get grounded! (but thats another story!)

As that wonderful thing called serendipity would have it, as I was online grabbing hex codes for the colors, I ran across this blog and my jaw dropped. Not only was it a pleasure to read, but she has some great photos of the beach! It added to my inspiration!( Go visit her and see what I mean!)

We did have 2 vacations last year, both at the beach and I did take some photos. Since we had our new puppy along, I found it hard to hold onto him and catch good images at the same time. But, after going through the images from our vacations, I found a few I could play with.

And just for fun, I’m going to share a few!

Speaking of new puppy at the beach - here he is! This picture cracks me up now! He was so tiny then! You can see a more current picture of him in my left sidebar. What a sweetie pie dog he is - but he didn’t like the water at the beach!

The sky reflection in the water

While not the same as a tropical beach, you just can’t beat North Carolina’s island beaches!

Ahhhh…sweet memories and I will always love time near water! Now…back to creating with that wonderful color palette!
