The Dog Beach

July 09, 2016 by Heather Borges

June Gloom has really been hanging on in the beginning of July - slightly sticky, humid mornings with enormous cloud cover. During my visit to San Diego to see Prestyn and Jason, I requested a little trip to the Dog Beach in Ocean Beach. It had been ages since I've spent a day there, and it brings me great happiness to watch dozens of dogs running about in pure joy.

Holly has a bit of fear when it comes to swimming but she did enjoy the cool water as a respite from the blaring sun, and enjoyed sitting on my stomach as a lookout perch (the silly girl!).

Grey or fair, windy or still, crowded or empty - Sunset Cliffs is one of my all-time favorite places to visit. I spent a lot of time in college, mostly alone, wandering the cliffs, walking far down at low tide. Hours spent watching the waves rolling in, the sun setting, and surfers paddling out.

This particular day was windy and cloudy but I enjoyed it all the same.

Holly is the sweetest little pug. In the past, when I've stayed with Prestyn on Catalina, she insists on snuggling with me. When I arrived in La Jolla, she went absolutely mad for about 15 minutes straight, jumping on me and giving me lots and lots of kisses. Isn't that face absolutely darling?

Prestyn & Jason (and Holly!)

This is definitely not my first post at Sunset Cliffs, because it's one of my favorite spots in the world. In college, I would come here and pretend to study while really watching the surfers and being generally mesmerized by the waves. The morning that we ventured to this beautiful spot in San Diego's Ocean Beach, it was extremely cloudy but the views were still breath-taking.

I'm glad I was able to (begrudgingly) get a few snaps of this very beautiful couple. Prestyn and I have been friends since surviving Ms. Durnford's 10th grade English class, and I'm so appreciative to have this gentle, kind, nature-loving gal in my life.
