Parker Inspirations

While both have their serenity, I would choose the beach first. I like the calming waves and the light breeze. The morning sunrise or the evening sunset gives a glow of romance to share with the one you love.

Let me compare my experiences. The first was hiking the mountains. I loved the sunlight as it glided though the trees. The beauty of the green ferns and flowers that only grow in the mountains. I love listening to the birds songs. There is an accelerating feeling when you reach the top and look out over the valley. The most breath taking of all is when you find a waterfall carving a small cavern, filled with the greenery from the mist.

My husband and I love to hike and take pictures of nature. Hiking is a lot of physical exercise with only a small amount of euphoria. Sometimes you may get to see a sunrise or a sunset. It is always fun and exciting.

However, when I first experienced the beach with the palm trees and the sun shinning on my face, I felt as though nothing else could compare. I had this romantic experience with my husband of almost 36 years. We walked on the beach at sunrise and sunset. The colors that were painted across the sky were breath taking. We could hear the ocean waves that rocked us to sleep each night.

We traveled the island to many other beaches. Each beach had new beauty with a new feeling, this is the place I want to be. I could stay all day just soaking in the sunshine, feeling the calming breeze and watching the wave gently wash in and out. Being on the beach is less physical and very relaxing.

As I try and describe this euphoric experience it is beyond words.
