warm sand between my toes
waves crashing against the beach
bright umbrellas for miles and miles
tanned bodies glistening in the sunshine
the squeals of a child as the cold water rushes over her toes
the happy bark of a dog chasing after a Frisbee
seagulls squawking overhead as they dive for lunch
hard-body lifeguards keeping watch from the towers
the sun setting low in brilliant colors of orange, red, and yellow
bonfires, hotdogs, and roasted marshmallows
couples swaying to the sound of a distant guitar
walking hand in hand along the waters edge
the sights
the sounds
the smells
the colors
of
summer.
July 2012
