My happy place would be any little town that has tons of thrift and antique stores :) I'm not a fan of the beach, actually, like the mountains much better. Glad you had such a nice time.
ReplyDeleteI've never been there, but that would be my happy place too! Love the tones in the first shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Definitely a place to relax and take in the peaceful atmosphere. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteWow such gorgeous shots - they are breathtaking, and it's obvious from how lovely they are that this is indeed your happy place!

I love your photography. I look forward to your WW every week!
ReplyDeleteI love the beach, but my happy place is probably my mom's house. It has comfort, food I don't have to cook, and good company. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that reflection picture. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBoth the beach and my crafty spot at home are my happy places :))

I wish that we lived closer to a beach! It would make me happy too! Gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it would be my Happy Place too :)
Beautiful pictures as always! I really love the beach, but I think my happy place will always be in the woods. :) The best is a beach bordered by woods, that would be the happiest place of all!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThe beach is totally my happy place - I just don't make it out there that often with my work schedule. Beautiful photos!!
ReplyDeleteOh the beach is such my happy place too!! Love these photos!!! :)

Mine? In the saddle. Possibly on the beach, but anywhere will do :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful edits Lish!

ReplyDeleteMy happy place is also the beach! I miss St.Peter-Ording! You photos make me dream...
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking photos of the beach. No wonder you love it so much. You capture it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteIt's my happy place, too. Your photography is so beautiful. You have the ability of transporting one to the same location where you are at.
ReplyDeleteI have two happy places, my parents place near beach where I can smell salty sea and hear seaguls voices. And then summer cottage middle of the forest by the lake - nature is so clean there. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Thanks for sharing! <3
Such beautiful photos! I really want to take some of the time my kids are away in school to become a better photographer and learn photoshop. Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteIt is my happy place too! Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteLove these, so beautiful and calm. I love the beach too :)
ReplyDeleteYour photography and artwork with it...never ceases to amaze me. You are an amazing artist...
ReplyDeleteLaurie @ Pride in Photos
OMG, I would love to join you there! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAahhh...the beach is also my happy place. So lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures! I love the beach too...but living almost 2 hrs from it means we don't get there as often as I'd like!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous shots! I miss the beach is the worse way possible.
ReplyDeleteI like them all, but the dock picture is FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteOh yes- the beach is my happy place too. It may be 3000 miles away from where you are- but the feeling is the same. Inner peace!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous as usual. The textures really enhance the shots.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are elegant and your choice of a "happy Place" is perfect. Hoping that you spend a lot of time in that happy place.
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From the Sol
Oh, I can see that! Gorgeous photos! I love, love the one with the legs and arms, where she is digging on the beach!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday too. :)
Happy Wednesday. Your photos are as always fabulous. The beach is one of my favorite places to sit back and relax.
ReplyDeleteI can see why this is your happy place, Alicia!
ReplyDeleteI can certainly see why this would be your happy place! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, my happy place in among the rolling fields and tall grass of the prairie listening the wind rush through the blades and the call of the whip-poor-will.
ReplyDeleteMy happy place is my bed. :) Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics!
ReplyDeleteCurrant

ReplyDeleteyou are welcome to come and share them via our Linky: http://www.craftyspices.com/others/blog-hops/wordless-wednesday-hop/96-wordless-wendsday-hop4
Happy Wednesday!
I would say that the beach is my happy place too. I love walking along the shore, my feet sinking into the wet sand, watching the waves and seagulls swoop down... yes, SIGH!!! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! The beach is one of my happy places too. Anywhere out in nature is my happy place really. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Your happy place looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis week my happy place is San Francisco. Come see me even if I am late to the party!
Your pictures are amazing! My happy place would also be anywhere near a beach, even a lake beach in Kansas. Sand and water and sun and my kids and husband are perfect!
ReplyDeleteMy happy place is anywhere in the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteMollyxxx
These pictures are always so gorgeous! Now I want to go to the beach!
ReplyDeleteEste un blog ce-mi place.
ReplyDeleteI love that hearts in the sand shot. Sooo lovely.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these photos! so glad you found your happy place. what i wouldn't give for a warm beach right now!
ReplyDeleteawww, my happy place is the beach too!!! funny ... i posted beach pics this week too! i finally had a chance to do a little editing on them and get them up. love your use of texture on these. thanks for the beach grunge texture and frame too. looking forward to using them in the future!!
ReplyDeleteI've been searching HIGH and LOW for a similar photo to hang in our kitchen (the first one). I know it would be weird to hang someone else's vacation spot on my wall, but I wish it were for sale!! We try every year to capture a great shot of our fave vacation beach, Holden Beach, NC, but nothing really turns out. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THE BEACH!! These photos are absolutely wonderful, they make me want to jump in the car and go back to the beach right now! Just wanted you to know I featured your pics over at this week's Photo Show Off with Love Bug!
