Take Me Back....

Have often wondered if I was meant to have been born in a different era. One in the past, of course! And anytime that I go through a museum, or see sepia photos that say "those were the days".... well, then I swoon ~


Sand, sun, cottages from years long past.  The sun and sea have taken their toll. The paint colors are no longer vivid beachy tones. People no longer inhabit these shacks, only sea creatures. Luckily the state has saved this plot of cliffside land and dwellings. Crystal Cove began as a tent community on the sand of Irvine Ranch. As time went on the tents became shacks, became homes. Completely endearing!

more photos later - difficulties with wifi here....

We're vacationing at the beach in Southern Cal and staked a claim to a blanket and some chairs on the sand at Crystal Cove. We did not turn back time, but we did enjoy the past by our visit to this vintage place....
