THE LURE OF THE BEACH

LINE COUNT: 10

Now that we’re cooped up back at home, office or classroom, it also seems like a good time to reminisce on all those great times we had at the beach. For the September inspiration, write about some beach experience (real or imagined).

Stumped, with no access to a beach, not even on a lake or river? My heart goes out to you. Never fear. Just use your imagination to transport yourself into one of the scenes shown in the following link and go from there: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=beach
