I absolutely love the beach!
When I came across this lovely article —
— by @pyrowngs today, I was reminded of this series of sunset photos that I took a few weeks ago.
This is my favorite beach in the universe.
I have probably spent more time, made more friends (surfer and otherwise), and had more joy-filled moments here than anywhere else.
My Home Break Beach, Carlsbad

After a lovely surf-session last month,
my granddaughter and I walked over to the cliffs to watch the sunset. If you scroll down, you can share that experience with us.

As you watch the sun sink in the west,
notice the happy surfers paddling out and riding the waves in.
And don't leave just yet when the sun goes down...

But wait! Don't leave yet!
Although the City of Carlsbad keeps fencing off the cliffs for safety reasons, we clever and determined people keep figuring out how to defeat the fences and walk the cliffs anyhow.
As we walk along the cliffs, we are very cautious not to get too close to the precarious edge. From time to time, sections of the unusable cliff faces collapse, or are washed away.
Don't slip and fall down a crevasse!

There is even more beauty to be seen here.
We stop to take a closer look at some of the beautiful flowers growing along the cliff-top path. It seems as if someone must have planted succulent ground cover, and it appears to thrive here.

Here's a close-up for your enjoyment.
You can almost smell them.

On any given day that I go to the beach,
getting out of the water and bidding farewell to the waves is the hardest thing that I have to do.
So long for now, waves...

Thank you for joining me.
I hope you've enjoyed this sunset on Beach Wednesday.

You are why I'm here on Steemit!
I have very eclectic interests and hope, over time, to write about them all.
