Week 14: A Moment of Focus
It's late at night, or should I say very early in the morning. For this week's theme I set my mind on this plaque hanging in my bathroom. Why there? My thought was focusing on one of the main reasons we decided to retire to this part of Florida. One of the most popular beaches (Daytona Beach) is a mere 30 minutes from our home, more for our children's pleasure than ours, as neither of us are avid swimmers. In truth we have not been to the shore much, but didn't mean the allure still wasn't there, so our master bathroom is done in a nautical theme with the above mentioned plaque as a focal point.
I couldn't resist playing with the photo I took (Photoshop is addictive). So when I came back to my computer to put this post together the lamp on the credenza caught my eye. This manual photo I snapped is indeed a true moment of focus. That is what a night owl I have always been.
See you next week.

Welcome to the Beach! Gets me in the mood for summer vacation. How lucky your family is to be able to spend time with you and enjoy the ocean at the same time! I am the anti-night owl - can't seem to stay awake past 10 these days. I think folks who have kids get in the habit of night hours being their only time to themselves. I know that was the case with my Mom who was a night owl too!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to live near the ocean. I live in landlocked Kansas and have to travel far to see the ocean. I love your photos, especially the one with the lamp. What great color you got from that light.
ReplyDeleteLove the lamp photo! I've never been a night owl, always a morning bird - up with the sparrows!!
ReplyDeleteLove your beach sign. Would probably do the same if i lived there - wait for guests to enjoy the beach!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great sign and I love the angle of the first shot! My kids would never leave if we lived that close to the beach!
ReplyDeleteI really like the ambiance of the lamp photo, so soft and inviting.
ReplyDeleteOK, I am ready to find a beach now! LOL It has been a while since I have visited the ocean.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to decorate Marlene. If I lived that close to the ocean I would never get anything done because I would always be at the beach. Your lamp photo is way cool.
ReplyDeleteI spent my teen years living at the beach - and I hated sand. Go figure.
