Florida

It's beginning to get chilly during the mornings, and often the cold has even been lasting throughout the day. It makes me miss the Florida weather and atmosphere. The beach is so beautiful that it is almost irresistible to stay at it for days. It's so simple to lay on your beach towel while watching the beautiful waves constantly moving as if calling you towards them. The wind also is moving quickly, always keeping you at a perfect temperature despite the hot sun beating down on your back. The combination of the wind and the waves makes a loud but soothing noise. Their sound almost blocks out the sound of the people playing volleyball and the music playing from the nearby outside diner/bar right off the coast of the ocean. You look towards your left and towards your right, and you can see the tiny crabs popping their beady eyes from their holes in the sand and the seagulls nose-diving for the water as if they are committing suicide. After giving in to the call of the ocean you squish your toes in the soft soothing sand and the waves swish over your feet. Even though it is such an enormous body of water, it is the perfect temperature. You smile to yourself; nature has its own way of creating something so peaceful and real that no man-made place could ever live up to.
I miss it.
