"One hundred years from now, as people look back on
our use of this continent, we shall not be praised for our
reckless use of its oil, nor the loss of our forests;
we shall be heartily damned for all these things.
But we may take comfort in the knowledge that we
shall certainly be thanked for the national parks."

~Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, 1931

I may look like a goofball in this photo, but it doesn't matter, because there's no way I could look as amazing as this beach. The sand under my toes, frisbee on the beach, the cool, clear water; I have ignited a passion within for beaches, oceans, the sounds of waves crashing, the movement and continuous flow of the water. One of my friends once said "we humans have an obsession with things that move," and I sure do--clouds, waves, water, critters (sometimes), weather, transportation, it is all so fascinating to the eyes and at the same time, calms the soul.
