Finally it was sunny and not only - it was also warm! so we packed quickly and went to have a breakfast at macdonalds which i actually really like for several reasons - their burgers are of a good size and are not giant as in other places, their french fries are the best, they have a good fruit salad... and they have the apple pies. so now it's one of my favorites :D and for breakfast i had the fruit salad and a pie... and some stolen french fries from Michael's plate. haha.
and then we rushed to the beach. the water wasn't warm enough to swim but at least it didn't feel like melted ice. a week or two and i'll get to swim there :D we didn't put any sunscreen on though we had it in the bag. i didn't want to because we got a treally strong one and the last time i was at the beach i didn't get ANY tan at all :D and i don't know why exactly Michael object to sunscreen. maybe because he likes red color hehehe.
at first we both were reading. there came out this watchmen comic novel which everybody was talking about. so we got it and that's what Mike's reading.
it was one of the top-rated books on new york daily or something which was surprising. i haven't decided yet if i want to read it. i was reading Dashkova's latest novel. Dashkova is great - one of my favorites, and in her books there is always a second story about Russia before revolution, nazis, kgb, Russia today, wars, and other things. when i get to read one of her books (which aren't that many - she has about 10 only :( ) i get completely fascinated and imerged, and can't do anything else until i get to the end.
however something made me close the book. i heard some music. which my mind classified as "oh nice now we have music" at first. then it was "wait! we are at the beach.. is it smb's radio perhaps?" so i looked around and saw this guy walking around with a guitar and pinching strings.
looks like i wasn't the only one enjoying the music - see the flock of seaguls behind?
and yes as i took this photo i also started looking around for more photo-objects.
these guys were rather interested in that black clacking thing i was holding, so they came very close staring at my camera :D
and then i kind of got carried away watching the beach. different people, different stories, different situations..
i need a lense with more powerful zoom.. at the beach i didn't draw that much attention with my camera - everybody was relaxing and enjoying and not looking at a girl with a cam, which enabled taking photos of people :D i could always pretend i was taking a photo of the beach or of the lake.. which i actually did take anyway :)
this one looks like a flag. i cropped it later when i noticed. if you don't look at the boats but concentrate on the color or look at the thumbnail you will know what i mean. then i played with desaturating a bit:
and then i asked Michael to take a photo of me. which always makes him sigh :D he likes my photography and photos but he doesn't like being part of it or taking part in the process hehehe.
but he did take what i wanted!
say hi to Michael:
and then we went to the ice-cream place (marojnianoc :D:D) i was somewhere in the heaven:
later Michael had practice, and i had to practice maneuvrability - which i did good at - last several tries would be a pass at the test. at practice guys were auditing a new guitarist (they need a second one) and looks like they were happy with him.
we didn't go to the bar since there was the canoeing trip and we had to get up early, so we just had a relaxed evening. it was a good prelude for sunday :)
