The beach gives us a different perspective about life, doesn’t it? The calming sounds of the waves lapping up on the shore and the smell of the salty sea seem to give us powers of healing. We start getting a little rejuvenated by the aqua colors of the water, blue skies, splashes of orange and pink shells on the bed of tan sand to bury our toes in.

It brings us back to the basic beauty of life.

A simple bucket filled with sand, water and a few shells can be the perfect ingredients for a marvelous morning.

This simple little bucket can turn into a fascinating world of wonder after adding a tiny baby fish.

This is better than finding a JUNONIA.

The whole family can share in the joy of the “wonder bucket”.

Cody, Sarah, Tim and Angie were my best “finds of the day”…. It’s always nice to find a great shell but sometimes it’s even better to find a great family enjoying the uncomplicated pleasures of the beach.

Besides finding the fish for her little brother’s bucket, Sarah found a large heart shaped rock. Perfect for a girl with a big heart.

Soaking up every single second of this beautiful life at the beach. This is what I call an awesome happy day!

I wish every family could have this experience.

So I’d like to dedicate this post to
