In general, I think most folks prefer going to the beach in the summer. When it comes to the Gulf Coast, though, the decision to visit can be a tad more complicated. For you see, in the summer, the heat, humidity, and bugs can combine to make being outside so oppressive that you dare not venture from the comfort of your air conditioned room. Stepping into the water can be like taking a warm bath. As far as I am concerned, the Fall and Winter are the best times to visit, with daytime temperatures often reaching the 70s, as they did on this day, after the rain blew over.
Tasting notes: Fujifilm GA645Zi, HP5+. Love its little fill flash.
