I have taken morning drives the last three days, just for some quiet happy time to myself. Today I headed out to the beach. It was a beautiful and warm day here in South Florida and all of the snow birds were out in full force at the local beach. I paid my $2.00 to park and took a walk on the pier. On a side note, I also LOVE to people watch. My husband says I'm nosey... but I like to call it very observant. I'm always engrossed in other couples conversations when we are out on a date night.
Anyway. I snapped a few photos from the pier and then slipped off my shoes and took the most wonderful stroll on the beach. Ohhh how the sound of the waves crashing and sand between your toes can heal your heart and make you feel amazing! Ohh and the smell of hawaiian tropic suntan lotion, the best smell of summer. Thankfully the sunscreen also smells heavenly... no more of that oil to bake your skin... that's a thing from my childhood that my kids will never know about. That and winding back a cassette tape with a pencil (or your finger.... wow did that hurt sometimes).
The beach had rows of umbrellas and cabanas with comfy chairs lining the shoreline in pretty blues and oranges. I'm going back one afternoon and renting one with my hawaiian tropic suntan lotion and a soft towel... I may even read a book magazine or just sleep... sleep sounds good.
And a few photos from my morning exploring, Enjoy <3
Enjoy your Thursday and have a wonderful weekend!!

I'm so glad that you like them and thank you for stopping by. We are a military family and lived in Seattle for two years... so I cherish the warm sunny beach days while they last.
ReplyDeletewow, these are all so beautiful and seeing that we have snow on the ground right now i'm a little envious : )
ReplyDeletei love that first shot, it would be amazing in print really big.
i am a people watcher too, i think it is so interesting to observe people and wonder what they are talking about, thinking, etc.
happy sunday!
Oh my, I'm so jealous! I'm looking out my window at about a foot of snow right now! Can't wait for Winter to be over. These pics are fabulous and I absolutely love your processing!
ReplyDeleteI love these photos! Makes me feel like i'm at the beach right now!
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies so much!!! I would love to have some snow for a couple days... I grew up in Virginia, so putting on shorts in February just seems odd to me. Thank you all for stopping by and for sharing your photos too, they are all beautiful!
