Saturday was glorious! My first real photo hike in weeks and I took full advantage of the weather and my freedom. I drove out to South Walton County and traipsed around in the woods at Flatwood Trail near Grayton Beach State Park, then ambled down the road to Deer Lake State Park and its practically deserted beach (read:pristine and secluded) for some sun and sand time. I just stood in the surf and let the cool waves wash over my legs. Ahh….
If I had brought my suit, I would’ve parked my arse in the sand and soaked in more of the summer sun. Maybe next weekend?

Oh, I wish it would be that warm in Málaga too! Instead it’s windy, cloudy and cool…On Wed it should get better.
Happy Sunday!

The water is so clear, you can still see the bottom even if you’re out chest deep. It’s really beautiful. This part of the Florida Gulf is called The Emerald Coast.
