nature essay

Another long drive to the exotic beach called Daytona Beach, Florida. I usually look forward to go but not this year. I am leaving my boyfriend home and I just wish he would of came but something came up that made him not come. On the way we passed through the states and I think it is just amazing how on the highway on one side it is clear as day and you just run right into a pouring rain storm and that is sort of how I felt, excited to go there but than on the contrary I felt like I was going to cry a river cause of leaving my boyfriend. As we progress to get there the weather gets nicer and funny as it may sound so do the people. I have noticed that people in the north are much meaner and impatient, wheras down south it seems like everybody is so friendly and they do not have a care in the world. As a person that lives in New Jersey. Daytona Beach really is somewhere I could just relax and not worry about anything.

We finally reach our destination and I notice by the hot temperature, palm trees, ocean, board walk and surf shops on every corner. We get out of the car and stretch from that long drive, and the first thing I did was walk on the deck and just watch the view of the ocean. As I look at the calm ocean, the sand clashing into thje waves as the sun was glistening down, all I could think was how beautiful and calm this made me feel. I blocked out the loud D.J and people drinking at the tiki bar, kids screaming, and cars driving on the beach because I just zoned out to the one thing that actually makes me feel one with nature.

As we checked in and got situated my family and I got our bathing suits on and headed for the beach. As I looked around there were seashells digging in my feet, birds flying above us in the bright blue sky, hot air ballons, and those little hellicoptors with the banner messages all around. It drove me a little crazy to see this amazing area just covered with tourist and no room for the animals of the enviornment. I felt as if we were introuding on their home and they wanted it back. The only animal that I think actually likes that are the birds because the tourists are continuissly feeding them.

I dip my foot in the crystal clear ocean and it is so warm and it felt like I was in heaven. I layed my head down in the water as my feet were getting mangled with the seeweed. As my feet were always getting hurt on little shells, seaweed , and the feeling of the hot sand upon my feet, all I could think was that I was enjoying myself but the more I tried to relax the more I missed my boyfriend.

I proceeded to get out of the ocean as the sun started to go down, little children began to leave, cars were exiting off the beach and the beach was soon to be at peace. I sat there and watched the sun go down, and it really is a magnificent sight. Once all the poeple come off the beach that is when all the animals start to come out. I saw crabs, little fish close to the shore,and the whole beach at utter silence.

I layed there with the sand all in my hair and just stared in the sky. I heard the enchanting sound of the waves and watched as the moon came out. There was nothing I loved more than what I was doing at that point. For the first time in a long time I was at ease, no worries, no problems, no bills on my mind. Suprisingly so I was so relaxed that I fell asleep.

The following summer is here and here we are again. Now my eyes are wide open from looking around of all the damage that has occured from the numerous hurricanes. My whole aura has changed. When I layed down by the beach I felt hurt and amazed that all this happened through mother nature. At the end of my thoughts there was only one thing that I felt.....nature is uncontrolable, and that also too is how I look at my realtionship with my now fiance. You never know what is going to happen so cherish what part of it that you can.
