la playa


we love long beach.

we really really do.

but long beach isn't perfect.

one thing it doesn't have is a proper beach.

it has a beach, but i wouldn't recommend going in the water...unless you enjoy swimming with syringes.

yessss, i am completely exaggerating.

but still, the water's not the cleanest due to the breakwater (pretty interesting debate concerning the breakwater in LB. if you're interested, you should certainly google it.)

i grew up in huntington beach, across the street from the beach (feel free to hate me; i know i'm spoiled). now that's a proper beach. it is my beach of choice.

so yesterday we took a little trip down south to good ol hb to do a little sunbathing and frolicking.

my baby sis was kind enough to document.


my camera was being funny, which is why the last two are out of focus, but i kinda think it was a lucky mistake 'cause they look pretty cool!

  7. The out-of-focus technique looks good. I would have thought it was intentional had you not told me otherwise.

    We really do have syringes and other medical waste washing up on the beaches on the East Coast, especially in Jersey. :(

  8. I thought the same as M.J. -- that last photo totally looks intentional. It's really cute.

  9. That last out-of-focus photo looks lovely. I'm so glad you're having some fun beach time! I hope you have a good evening (and maybe Harry Potter night?). Love you!

  11. I like the out of focus ones!

    It's funny, because here in Vancouver we think the same thing: the beach is lovely, you can lounge on the sand, listen to the waves, watch the sailboats come and go - but don't swim. If you see people swimming here, it's because they're tourists.

  12. Are you kidding me? The last two photos are the best! -- very artsy. :) And I miss HB as well...that was our go-to beach for fire pits to cook hot dogs and make smores. And after graduating from college my friends and I may or may not have burned our Chemistry and Calculus books there... ;)

  13. Well....feeling dumb now because we did swim in Vancouver ALOT but we are kinda insane.

    I have to say that is the cutest bathing suit ever!! You can even wear red and look awesome in it. So jealous. You are so right about the out of focus photos looking cool. I LOVE them.

    xoxo

  25. I was just gonna say nice photos when I read the last part. Definitely a lucky mistake. My camera is the same way. ugh I so need a new one.

  26. There are no good beaches here in Texas. I have dreams about those beautiful west coast beaches all the time. I lived there so briefly but I will never forget putting my feet in the Pacific for the first time.

    Also, I know you've heard it a million times, but I LOVE that suit. I have a red one piece (ish... it's the kind that only covers your tummy but looks like a two piece from the back) but yours puts it to shame.
