Gone swimming

I'm back! My dear readers that live in New York, did you survive the heat wave last week? It looks like the humidity is arriving in the city a bit early this year. As a result, I can't stop thinking about the beach! But if I can't go swimming, the photos above are the next best thing. I love photographer Julie Chamton's colorful ocean shots from Egypt (images 1 and 3), not to mention Marc Loyon's photo of San Sebastian in Spain. Talk about serenity now. What's your favorite beach in the world?

More beaches here and here and here.
