It’s no secret that I love the water.  The sound of crashing waves and beautiful beaches are so invigorating.  It really is amazing all the beauty that God has put on this earth around us.  Beyond the obviously picturesque days, I love those that are a little darker.  Moody, overcast skies are so intoxicating.  There’s a calmness as the wind rips through your hair, the sound of the sand dancing across the shoreline and then… bam, another giant swell meets it’s ending upon the shore.

This inspiration was born out of those overcast skies.  A little bit of mist hung in the air and the sand was chilled with a dampness.  It was not a day to fuss with curls in your hair or to bother putting on a tie.  It was a wild, carefree and barefoot occasion – come as you are and let love prevail.  And today I’m delighted to share it in it’s entirety over on Magnolia Rouge.
