We woke up to rain and gray skies, but the kids said, "Let's just go to the beach anyway." By the time we packed our picnic lunch and our towels and sand buckets, the rain had stopped and the sky had begun to clear.
The shore was heavenly. The dogs ran. The kids waded. We found interesting shells, a mermaid's purse (skate egg), a large hermit crab, and an anemone in a tide pool. Gulls wheeled and cried (and stole some of our lunch).
On the way home the sky began to darken again. We just made it home before the rain came.
I'm so glad we went and got to enjoy those few hours of sunshine. ♥
How lovely it looks. We always go to the beach when the weather is wild. I'm glad you had a good time :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear friend. :)
DeleteIt sounds absolutely heavenly, and you have such an eye for photography!
ReplyDeleteIs that the name of the beach?
Yes, Wingaersheek is the name of the beach. It comes from an old dutch word that means "Vineland", I think. Thank you for the kind compliment about my photos. My camera is an ancient Kodak digital (6.1 megapixels!). It's a challenge to get a good picture, but it's rugged and works and I hate to spend money on something new.
DeleteBeautiful beach! And the best part is that you are all well enough to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteYes! I am so glad that we are all feeling better. Thankfully, it was a very short-lived virus.
DeleteWhat phenomenally gorgeous photos! My favorite is the yellow wild flowers. What beauties.
ReplyDeleteYour beaches remind me of the beaches in North Florida, lighthouses and all. I've never been to New England, the only part of the country I've left unexplored. One day :)
Blessings
Thank you for the compliment and lovely comment! I love those gold wild flowers, too. : ) I hope you get a chance to visit New England someday. You would love it--so many ghosts and witches and old woods filled with stone fences and even mysterious monoliths and megaliths.
DeleteI am really enjoying exploring your blog. Your art is beautiful, and I really like your writing. ♥
so lovely and I'm glad you went anyways. I am hoping to do some picnic outings during the fall, my favorite time and maybe take the camera along.
ReplyDeleteFall is the best time for picnics and pictures and spending time outdoors. I feel like I did not enjoy the summer months as much as I would have liked. I plan to really make the most out of this season.
