These days, when I am feeling a little stressed or down a bit, I am always craving the ocean. I guess it has become such a part of me, because I was around it so much growing up. There is no place like it for me. It is difficult, really, to put in words. I can say, though, that I love seeing the ocean at any time of day and in any season. In fact, most of my enjoyable ocean viewing moments are usually when it is not packed, blanket to blanket, but later in the day or really early or in the winter.
Every time we go to RI, I am always saying to Mike, I want to stop by the ocean. But most of the time, our days home fly by with no time for the ocean. This past short trip to RI, for Declan's birthday, we were only there for about 30 hours but we managed to fit in a quick ocean viewing. It was beautiful. I took Mike to Hazard Rocks, just down a few blocks from Narragansett beach, an old hang out and one of my favorite beaches anywhere. SInce the main part of the beach was completely packed and surfers were all over waiting for waves from the hurricane, Hazard Rocks is always a great place to ocean watch with less crowds. I got a little wet when a random wave washed over me. I forgot the name was given for a reason. It is so beautiful there, though. The sound...I should have taken a little video just so I could here the waves. Well, try to imagine the sound of the waves through these photos. Ahhhhh. It is a beautiful thing.
