Coastal Homes

We were driven out of our home for a few hours as pest control came to tackle an ant infestation. I detest ants! Ever since I was a little girl and I accidentally stepped on an anthill and my legs were covered in them… I’ve had a frantic anxiety problem whenever I see a trail. We tried battling them on our own for about three weeks before I finally demanded we hire pest control. So in our 3 hour outing we enjoy the park and a nice afternoon drive along the coast of Orange County, Ca. I suppose when you look at it this way I can say ‘thank you’ for the ants, because it was why we had to get out of the house. We spent a couple hours at the park walking barefoot in the grass and studying the flowering trees. This last week was all about flowers in our Science class and the timing was absolutely perfect!

After our picnic lunch we decided to go for a drive and enjoyed sight seeing together. We came upon a quaint little neighborhood of streets on the peninsula of Balboa and I captured some shots that just take my breath away. This is just one of several reasons I enjoy coastal living.

Participating in some fun photo memes again this week. These three photos were taken with my Samsung Smartphone (Android). Although these are simple snapshots, I chose to share them because I think they tell a story. What do you think?
