Cigar Box Beach
This entry was posted on Nov 13 2008
Here’s another shot of the exclusive beach I own. It sits on my desk in a cigar box, so there’s not a whole lot of room to move around, but it gets me through the winter. The sad thing is that I never got to the beach this summer – and I live in Florida! You can check out a shot of the wormwood in the beach box also taken with the Nokia 5610 I reviewed back in September. It’s the first camera phone I used that actually had macro capabilities, which makes me happy because I like seeing what isn’t normally seen.
The sand in the box comes from St. George Island, where you can find some of the best beaches in Florida. Most of the shells come from there as well, but the sponge comes from the Florida Keys. We visited some friends a few years ago after the hurricanes and picked sponges right off the ground. The storm surge had washed hundreds ashore, leaving them to dry in the hot sun. The box was purchased in an estate store along with about ten other boxes. Put it all together and you’ve got a great memory.

that’s cool! But you haven’t gone to the beach last summer? Too bad, I guess.
I don’t like swimming but I really miss the beach. Unlike at home in the Philippines. The beach is just a few meters away. Never been to a beach here in Japan, but I guess a lake beach counts.

Wormwood? Did somebody say wormwood? You know you can make absinthe from that stuff, right? PARTY!
And, yes, I’m another Floridian who didn’t go to the beach all last summer. Yes, I’m lame.

That is a great idea to have a beach to look at everyday. Winter can be dreary but I see you’ve got that under control.
