Surfside Sights and Sounds

Strolled down to the beach this morning and saw quite a few interesting things.

 
Of course, there were sea oats...

 
And just beyond, the sea.
 
 
There were seagulls...

 
...soaring just above the surf.
 
 
There were shells that spell and....

 
...the ones that beckon to be taken home.
 
 
There were chairs and umbrellas,

 
umbrellas and chairs.

 
And chairs and umbrellas, waiting to be shared.

 
There were umbrellas and flags,

 
raised for all to see.
 
 
There were flowers and....

 
the promise of flowers.

 
There were blue ones,

 
and pink ones,

 
and yellow ones, too.
 
 
There were crosses to remind us....

 
who died for you!
 
At first it was the sights.....

Have a great night,

    1. Thanks, Betsy...I am blessed, for sure, to be able to live here. And my photography could be much better....especially, if I would use my camera instead of my iPhone. Ha! Really, I want a better camera. Mine is old and only has 6 megapixels. I can not master taking pictures with it in the manual mode, to save me. But I do think I have a good eye for composition. The other stuff is a work in progress. Yours, by the way, is fantastic. I love those you take with your macro lens.

    1. Thanks, Mama Pea. I imagine my walk on the beach was as calming as a day in your garden.

  5. I love the beach ... it calms me. I am partial to the beach on an overcast day. There's just something magical about it on an overcast day.

    1. Thanks, Diane! The beach calms me too. Hearing the surf lulls me into a nap every time and an overcast day is even better. I'm so glad you stopped by. Hope you come again.

    1. Thanks, Nancy! We have a little get away place at the beach....not right on the ocean, but only about a city block away.
