What a gorgeous summer sky Erin. You must have really enjoyed going to the CA beach on your trip.
So beautiful and so many memories. I spent most of my teenage summer days at 32nd street in Newport Beach and most of the summer nights all over Balboa.
Great pictures!
I haven't been on a beach in years. Living in a landlocked state I don't get many opportunities;)

WONDERFUL series! :)))
I just love these pictures!
Great photograpy!
Happy weekend!
I love the contrast on these. Very '60sa adverts. Nostalgic, yet modern. I just really like them as I think you can tell.
Wow!, this are beautiful pics.
I love the 1st.
Have a great weekend at the beech!.
What a wonderful series, and what a contrast with my dark skies.
Your images make me long for summer, but for now it seems to be autumn overhere.
Enjoy your weekend!
Beautiful shots of the beach and all of that blue sky. The waves look so inviting! Looks like it was a great day at the beach. :-)
One of my favourite place to be ...the beach !!
Beautiful photos with that blue sky over it all ...I can almost hear the surf and the gulls and feel the sand between my toes :-)
Erin, your photos are beckoning me to just drive up there. I have been wanting to buy the fresh catch crabs, but I have to be there at 6:00am to beat the crowd.
Great Summer shots.
Here is Winter now!!

Sand, summer, sun and beach - what more could one want at this time of the year?
In these pictures, I can only dreaming .In Germany, the summer has not yet come.Manuela from Bavaria
Beautiful beach shots, I particularly like the side on rolling waves.
gorgeous blues!
All your photos are lovely, Erin. It seem you have a true love for the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean and miss living in California. And I can't say that I blame ya...
The west coast is quite unique and has it all, from the sea to the mountains and desert...
Your photos remind me of the beach movies I used to watch as a teen in Okla. I always thought I would end up on the west coast- surprise, I live on the east coast.
Beaches...they've caught our imagination since the beginning of time, I think...that and mountains...great work. Congratulations on Post of the Day nomination at David's

A beautiful summer's day, a lovely beach and great work on your photos
Isn't summer grand? The waves are gorgeous!
This is a wonderful scene which you have captured beautifully.Thanks for sharing this great photo & have a nice weekend.
what beautiful beach shots. I can almost hear the ocean roar in that first one.
Great scenes from that beach, thank you!
Fabulous fotos...!!!
My favourite is the 1st pic, with the almost snowy white contrast and bright blue. It's mind blowing.
Congrats for nomination to POTD.
Super shots Erin, love that blue sea and the waves.
Congrats on your POTD award on Davids blog.
Great shots and attractive way of processing. P.S Thanks for your comment on my paint exercise. Curious : did you also recognize your photo ? (of course the painting is a simplified version of it, with just some lines).
Awesome images!
Erin: That was a neat look at the blue water and sky of CA.
These pictures everything I've ever heard about the California life. They're just beautiful.
Just stunning photos. If there is one thing I miss about living in New Mexico...it is seeing the ocean and experiencing all the sights, smells and touch that it offers.
I grew up along the California coast...when it wasn't as crowded as it is now....and not lined with all the oil rigs. Great memories. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos.

The list can go on and on. You can either drink a commercial pomegranate juice from your local store or make one refreshing juice at home.If you have a manual juice extractor, certainly you can make one delectable juice in no time.
