Hello Summer 2009 part 4 of 11
Summertime in Carlsbad attracts visitors from all over the globe. Tourists drag boogie boards across Carlsbad crosswalks and families tip toe through warm sand. The grass in front of Off Shore Surf Shop is a popular place to rest after a beach jog, to watch the sunset and to have a picnic. When the crowds thicken, the opportunity to connect minds arises. Who knows what you will find and who you will meet…
Rhonda sits golden by the Summer sun with high spirits and a wide smile. Her demeanor is slightly reserved and her fingers quickly work a tie through a coconut peace sign. Scattered on a tan mat is a collection of hand made jewelry, each hand painted and carefully arranged. Her inspiration comes from the ocean and her shyness cracks when she gets the chance to explain her all natural products. She describes each piece of jewelry like a well trained door to door salesperson, but her passion eliminates any rues. Rhonda is unable to give any contact info or future plans. She doesn’t work on consignment because she is unaware of her next step. Karma plays a key role in her life and she gladly gives out her work to those interested, but unable to pay. Rhonda may not have the luxuries of a traditional job, but the flexibility and spontaneity of her schedule is admired by the most stable. Summertime in Carlsbad offers a variety of activities, but when you need a rest and have spent too many hours in the sand, pull out a blanket and enjoy a picnic amongst the others in the grass… watch for juggling antics each sunset!
How do you feel about local street vendors and performers?
