this or that thursday: ocean

My trip to California was so much fun! I had an amazing host, Suzy. We laughed a lot! Most of our time was spent at the CHA show, but we did stop by the beach for a little while so I could have a look. This was near Laguna Beach. It's very different from the beaches I'm used to on my Florida vacations where there are no rocks or hills. The scenery was just breathtaking. Most of my photos were taken at the show with my iphone so these are the only shots I took with my dslr the whole time.



Of course I used my iphone at the beach too, and then added the amaro instagram filter which resulted in a fun shot of this beautiful scene...




It's time to link up again! There are just a few rules.
  • submit the url of your blog post, not your home page
  • link up a photo that was taken by you
  • include a link back to my blog in your post (you can use the button or a text link if you prefer)
  • visit a few other blogs and leave some comment love 
Okay, now just link up below so we can see what you've been shooting!

    It looks gorgeous there! My friend lives on the ocean in Laguna beach and I see his pictures on FB and I am jealous. Your pictures are breathtaking.

    Oh Deb!!!!! You captured my home of the beaches of So Cal so perfectly! I LOVE Laguna! It's amazing isn't it??!! I had hoped to get home before we moved but it just didn't happen. It's been 2.5 years now & I am still so homesick. Thanks for giving me a little taste of home to gaze at a bit.

    Simply gorgeous! Oh, I do hope to visit California one day I have never been. I'm sure the beaches are much different than what we see here on the East Coast.

    Fantastic pics. Thanks for sharing!
