Sometimes that water can look amazing when the sun is beating down and there is a warm breeze, but it can be a trap for the unwary.  You race into the waves to find it is leg numbing and have to do the one-leg hop swap to get out.  This photo reminds me of that!

I am loving the citrusy colours I am wearing today.  Looks so summery.

I have had so much fun landscaping and decorating this beach area at Best of SL Boulevard.  Of course, I did think of bloggers as I did it as I wanted plenty of great places for pics.  This is one of them and I am standing in front of this fab Astralia - Tropical pool (Sky) with fun animations and a classy look.  I grabbed it from Summerfest.

Today is one of those posts where I mix up some fashion with some home and garden.  I am also throwing in a cool pose prop.  Today is all about On9 which started on the 9th.

On9 is one of my all time favourite events in SL and not just because I get to blog for them.  I just love the blend of fashion, accessories, poses and home & garden all in one place, with bargains to be had as well.

All of the items below are from On9.

Hmmm, she looks like she had a hard night.  No sympathy there.  Self-inflicted pain.

Still at least she looks good for this time of the morning.  That is aided, mostly, by the gorgeous dress and accessories she is wearing.

Anyone got anything for a headache?

I have the feeling that this guy is not on a team of any kind.  He worries me a bit.  Cool pose though.  Great set from Image Essentials.

I am highly allergic to camping.  My idea of camping is a hotel with a cafe very close.  It all seems like a lot of work to me and when I holiday I don't want to have to do anything.  Perhaps glamping would work for me as long as I have a hot shower and someone to bring me decent food.

The only thing about camping that appeals is marshmallows over a fire.  That is all.

However, this set really does appeal to me.  It is from Trompe L'oeil and is at Collabor88.  You get the tent with mats and the campfire. The other items are not included but just added to my scene!

The tent is texture change and has a load of great patterns and looks.  There are also plenty of great animations too for solos like me or couples.  Fab.

I have been busy on the Best of SL Boulevard land again, setting up a beachy area.  If you have been over there you will know it is kind of a park like setting, but I decided to break all the rules and set up this sandy oasis in the middle of the land.

I have had lots of fun doing it and decorating it up so it is inviting for all the visitors.  I hope you get time to wander over as I would love some feedback.  There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the sunshine and this area I am showing you today is one of them.

I have utilised three Serenity Style sets in this photo and had fun doing it, especially with the fans, which plug into no where but just add to the look.

I can't believe we are almost half way through the season, whichever one that is for you.  For me it is winter and boy has it been chilly.  I am looking forward to some warmth in the sun and having water that doesn't get frozen in the morning frosts.  Still, it is stunning to look at and I am hopeful we will get some snow soon just to mix things up.

In SL it is summer and I can enjoy some virtual rays and heat!  I can also enjoy my new pose set from Nantra.  I love these Beach Illustrated sets that come out each year!

Also, On9 starts on the 9th and boy is it looking like a goodie!

Time to dance with butterflies and enjoy the sounds and sights of the forest.  I hope the unicorns don't mind the noise.  I will try and be quiet.

I am loving this gorgeous outfit.  SL is so much fun when we can just have dress up and dance in the forest.

These new Verdi Creek Camp Cottages from Trompe Loeil are at faMESHed and come in a HUGE range of fab colours:  blue, brown, moss, green, red, sky, teal, violet and white.  That means you can grab the one that suits your colour schemes!

You can also get the Verdi Creek chairs too and these are colour change so can be altered to go with your new cottage.

These gorgeous homes are only 49 prims and are 12 metres by 20.3 metres so perfect for those of you on a size and prim budget.

Happy Canada Day (You don't look a day over 140, so can't believe you are 150!) and Happy 4th July (good on you for being all grown up and independent!) to those who celebrate the days.  I hope they were fun and relaxing with no alien invasions etc.  I have seen the movie.

I love Wicca's Wardrobe.  If you are into roleplay of any kind then this store must be high on your shopping lists.  They don't only do rp clothes though and I love their everyday clothing line too.  It is a shop for everyone.

This fab outfit that I am showing off today is for the Fantasy Collective and is the perfect blend of warrior and sexy.  Brings out my inner animal.
