sitting on beach at Seagrove at sunset. If there is a more peaceful site in the world, I have not found it...By the way, glass of wine is more than an option...
 
Laying on the beach (Seagrove) late at night listening to the waves crashing on the shore and looking up at the Milky Way. Bliss.
 
I love the Seagrove N Andalusia walkover in October, with no biting flies, and a calm day - I do love my Sunday afternoon on the beach.

My porch is a great place to unwind, sitting in the tall pines and magnolia trees, sometimes you can hear the surf, but you can hear the birds, watch the squirrells play and take a porch nap!!!
 
Hogtown Bayou

Early morning on my kayak at Hogtown Bayou. The bayou is full with activity when the birds are out for their morning catch.

Anywhere on the beach or bay with a fishing rod on my hand.
 
It seems like there's just an entire array of beautiful places along this lovely little stretch of beach. Actually, it's not too bad to be sitting at my computer, chuckling at all the goofballs on SoWal, as the sun slowly rises on a cool crisp morning at Eastern Lake. ;-)
 
I've discovered that walking down the shore line is the easiest way to unwind. It's amazing how far you can walk. Watching the waves crash quickly and race inland or fight themselves into submission. Noticing how the sand goes from a soft snow like consistency that crunches under your feet to a hard almost concrete like surface. The dunes standing like fortress walls ocassionally broken by a long forgotten hurricane. The birds running in the surf like little children.

Then if I'm still stressed I'll go out during the day and repeat.
Ditto.
 
On a very still morning when there is not a breath of wind, we like to get into our canoe and slide out onto one of the glassy lakes and lay as motionless as possible. When the ripples receed, it looks and feels as if we are suspended in the sky. Truly sublime...
