    On The Beach

    May 19, 2013 by Kankana Saxena

    I am a Piscean, which is perhaps why a day on the beach is one of the happiest for me. The sound of waves crashing the rock, feel of the granular sand, that distinct salt-water smell and cool winds always uplift my mood. Few days back, we went for a drive to 17- Mile Drive. As the name suggests, it’s a 17-miles/ 27 kilometers long scenic road through Pacific Grove with multiple viewpoints. It was not a breath-taking experience but quite a pleasing one, especially on a sunny day.

    Showering you today with some of the snapshots I captured that day.

    This little squirrel was quite a model. This little buddy was striking a pose for every one, moving from left to right (not kidding!)  and didn't move even when I went closer. For a second, I was doubtful it is was even for real. Wish I had carried my zoom lens for a much closer snapshot.

    That tree! How spooky does it look? There were many such trees of weird shape and lovely texture in this spot called 'Ghost Trees'

      How beautifully you captured those serene, soothing, lovely moments! Your happy state of mind reflects on those pictures 🙂 - Nothing much to say about your photography except for one word: outstanding.

      I love that part of the country. I have a similar photo of the Lone Cypress on the bottom of my blog Heart Choices. I only wish I could be there now! Beautiful photos!
