1 of 52, Year of Ocean

"She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus She parks her car outside of my house, takes her clothes off Says she's close to understanding Jesus She knows she's just a little misunderstood She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous"~ Counting Crows

Sunset Beach, Malibu - a week ago.

That Counting Crows song haunting me for a few weeks now. Love that record, perfect for winter. H and I went to the beach after spending a few vacation hours working. I wasn't watching the waves though - I was searching the breaks for dolphins.

We spotted a small pod, maybe 3 to 5 of them, their gray fins lifting out of the waterline the way Ferris wheel cars sail up into the air and glide back down. Watched them move up the coast until they were small specks. H said his colleague saw a whale the other day.

Wow. To see a whale...

We only stayed for an hour, but it was worth it. I'm thinking it's going to be worth it every time.
