Living in
Tallahassee for the last several years I find that there’s something lacking in
the area. The lack of the beach is the only thing I wish this area had. There’s
nothing like being on a beach having the warm rays of the sun reach out and touch
you. Those so many things to entice the five senses like the smell of the ocean
breeze in your nostrils, and the slight breeze coming off the ocean. Even having
the sand get stuck between your toes is all part of the experience. I
personally always like hearing the sound of the waves crashing into the beach.
There’s something quite relaxing about it. Just looking at this picture it gives
off the sense of peace and relaxation. Some people prefer it to be crowded and
tons of things going on. I find scenes like this to be the best. Where it’s
just you and nature and nothing disturbing the peaceful relationship. A day
like in this picture is something I dream about when I want to go on vacations.
Somewhere where I can relax with a cold beer and just enjoy the beautiful
weather. Here’s hoping there’s a day like this in my future…

Reading this post I could definitely feel my senses being engaged. I too moved to Tallahassee from a place that was near the ocean. Living there for nearly 10 years I hardly cared about the beach, but after only a few short months I was longing the smell of the salty breeze whipping at my face, the hot sting of sand between my toes, the warm rays of sun against my skin. Sometimes when I get stressed out, I close my eyes and pretend the sounds of traffic are waves crashing on the shoreline. The picture conjures up feeling of calm and peace that is difficult to find in a busy, tight-packed place like Tallahassee. The overall layout of the blog is simplistic and therefore not distracting. The wallpaper is an interesting picture, with all the colored lights, the art deco buildings, the dusk sky, et cetera, but does not complicate the viewing of the posts.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, there are some things here I might have done differently. For starters: “The lack of the beach is the only thing I wish this area had.” This sentence is written in a confusing manner. Sure, I get that you wish Tallahassee had a beach, but the working seems to imply you wish Tallahassee lacked a beach.
There is a phrase that seems a little redundant: “...so many things to entice the five senses like the smell of the ocean breeze in your nostrils, and the slight breeze coming off the ocean.” The “and the slight breeze coming off the ocean” is redundant and totally unnecessary.
“Some people prefer it to be crowded and tons of things going on. I find scenes like this to be the best.” Here it sounds as though you find crowded scenes to be the best. I want to believe you mean you prefer the calm vibe conveyed in the photo, but once again your language is not quite clear.
