the ocean

For my project I decided to write about sounds that I hear while sitting by the ocean.  The ocean is my favorite place to go and relax.  I work 6 to 7 days a week from April to November between a golf course where I manage a snack bar and my own computer and phone repair business.  When the golf course closes my wife who also works with me go on vacation.  This year we went to visit my daughter in Louisiana first in November and now again in April to see my first grandchild.  My wife complains that she is only 35 and a grandmother but that what happens when you marry and older man with three kids.  She loves her grandchild and even though our visit was short only a week this time we went through Florida and spending three days here at Amelia Island.  

1.     The sounds of the gulls in the air

2.     The sounds of the waves hitting the shore.

3.     The sounds of footsteps in the sand.

4.     The sounds of the boats.

5.     The sound of a gentle breeze brushing by my face.

6.     The splashing sounds as the waves hit rocks farther out.

The sound the sand makes when you walk just at the edge of the water
The sound of the splashing in the water.
The ocean has very distinct sounds and they are burned into your brain whenever you think about it.  They also have distinct smells and sensation that is not possible to have elsewhere.  It is a beautiful place.    I think all these sounds make up the ocean and I would not take any away including the boats because it is part of the scene.
