oh california, california I'm comin' home...

So the beach was my favorite place to be growing up. I could lay on the sand and read or sleep for hours and even try a little surfing or boogie boarding now and then. So what happened to the surfer girl I use to be? She became terrified of pigeons that she never realized existed before. Actually she became terrified of everything: sand crabs, sharks, jelly fish, seagulls, tsunamis. It was a sad beach day that ended after a half hour with me running for my life back to the car. Embarrassing, pathetic, and true. But those pigeons were everywhere and wanted to attack me. They were mocking me, sensing my fear, and planning an ambush while I quickly managed to snap these few photos. I really hope my beach days aren't gone for good. Getting older is annoying.
