Sand

I've been thinking about the beach, waters and the sands for weeks now realizing I haven't even shared our Canyon Cove getaway yet. It is something that is worth sharing for and I can't believe I almost forget to blog about it. So without further adieu, here is the story of our first long drive (just the three of us) and beach escapade. The best part is, it was well an unplanned trip. January was supposed to be a month for our barkada (college friends) outing. Our personal belongings were all…

Before the storm, the shore was a graceful arc of sand, glittering under the summer sun, a place for a serene ocean to lap. A fleeting flurry of sand waves rolled in with a soothing swish. Every few steps lay a shell, a treasure of the aquatic world just out of reach. The small, wet pebbles that lined the beach sparkled in the bright light of the day. I reached down to pick one up, running my finger over its smooth surface. It was curved perfectly, with no sharp edges or jagged bends. I swung my…

perceive the salty air of the sea, the lack of the debris, and the small crowd around makes it seem that it is a private beautiful beach. The sand is golden brown covered with some fresh foot prints from the vacationing tourists, the sky is light blue with no birds or clouds, and it was a very sunny day. There was one group of tourists sitting on the sand, enjoying what it seemed to be a good conversation; meanwhile, one of the males was attracted to a handmade bracelet from a local native. On…

in the gator pond retention area. Testing was done every half chain, for a distance of 528 feet to the north/south, 16 lines. Plots to the east/west where done until the water no longer flowed into the water shed. Data collected included, amounts of sand silt and clay, the amount of gravel, and dominate and co-dominate species in a 4 foot radius and the density of each plot. Each line of plots and testing were test by different individuals and then data was put onto an excel spread sheet to…

said yes. “Ugh. Today? Can’t we just stay home and put on a movie for the kids?” Victoria lolled her head to the side –the thought of trekking all four kids down to the beach and then trying to have an enjoyable afternoon while trudging through the sand was exhausting. They hadn’t even left the house, and she was already exhausted. “You used to love walking on the beach,” Joshua said. He threw out a fake pout, hoping she would bite. “Don’t make me take these monsters alone. They’ll eat me as…

However, keep in mind that such kind of trip is that all comfortable and convenient. Here are some tips that you can follow to make a desert safari more pleasant and enjoyable: • Wear clothes…

Journey The sand feels great. It’s warm. It’s as if I’m walking through a warm puddle on a cold night. The sand caresses my feet every step I take as if it’s hugging “the webbing of” my toes*. The blazing sun is like a light in a building of thousands of people; as it is shared by the vivid life of the beach. The people on the beach are having the time of their lives as if they were celebrating a nationwide event of some sort. The great island of Costa Rica is just generally full of life. The…

erosion effects the Big Bonanza Coast the most. When it rains or water hits the beach or dunes, the drops break down the soil. The bigger the storm, the larger the erosion potential. The loss of sand on the beach occurs too quickly and on a much larger scale than sand replenishment. Long-shore drift moves the sand from one part of the beach to the other, and replenishment from estuary to the ocean cannot keep up with this so erosion takes place, and rising sea levels cause this to happen…

"Salt in the air, sand on your feet, the soft crash of waves just beyond the dunes – Washington's Long Beach Peninsula engages every sense and will awaken your slumbering spirit of adventure. The peninsula is home to a string of throwback beach towns where time ticks a little more slowly. Museums highlight the region's historical heritage and illuminate the Peninsula's past. This is Lewis & Clark country, where some of the best exploration takes place on foot – the 8.5-mile Discovery Trail…

the air, and the feel of the sand on my bare feet. Have you ever had piña colada in the sunset? Well, it’s unforgettable. Ever since I was six months old, I have been fortunate enough to visit the place that I love with all of my heart. I have made many great memories here with my family. Throughout my life I have returned to the Bahamas eleven times. My favorite hotel here is known as Atlantis, and my personal artifact isn’t one single thing, but a collection of sand and shells that I have…
