You know me…I can’t stay away too long…
and it has been almost 6 WEEKS
Sooooo…
I made sandwiches, packed them in the cooler with some nice tall bottles of spring water, put some apple slices in a bag, along with some favorite chips, chairs, towels, sunscreen, boogie boards,
and we were OFF!!
TO THE BEACH, THAT IS!!!
YEP…you guessed it…I’m going to bore you with yet
another…beach post!! WOOHOO!!
Here goes!
When we are crossing over the bridge and get our first glimpse of the ocean,
it still nearly takes my breath away! Wish I had a photo of that to show you,
but, alas, these will just have to do!
ENJOY!
I brought along my trusty morning companion! One of those delightful simple pleasures I enjoy from time to time.
The skies were an incredible shade of blue and the water was
a lovely seafoam green, and there is nothing like the sound of the
waves to soothe away every care of the world!!
I loved that this sweet couple were walking hand in hand…awwww…just gives me the warm fuzzies!
I love that Bird ASKED me to take this silly photo of her with Pringles
duck lips!! Too much fun!
We all ooo-ed and ahhh-ed at this wonderful little sports car just cruising down the shore
{Bucket list # 51…drive on the beach in a jazzy sports car convertible!} Not really, but it would be great!
And of course, some wonderful feathered friends…you know
I can’t resist them!
A cute little guy!
And a not so little guy, with lunch in his clutches! He is gorgeous,
with beautiful gold eyes!
We just can’t figure out what he is carrying!! Maddy guessed a jelly fish, but I don’t think they would risk grabbing one of them.
What do you think?
The trusty life guard! We wouldn’t swim without him right there!
Sidenote: If you go to the beach, especially with children, PLEASE always swim by a life guard! One told me that most of the drownings are over 1/2 a mile away from the closest tower! That
just shouldn’t even happen!
A parting shot…I love when the sun dances on the waves!
AND then to top my day off, I got to see this wonderful sight…
It was actually more magnificent than this, but I had to go grab my camera and some of the amazing orange rays shining upward had disappeared! It was incredibly beautiful!
I love how God is always painting new sunsets and sunrises for us
to enjoy! No two are ever the same!
It is so much fun to share my JOY with you!!
Remember:
****MY BLOG WILL HAVE A WHOLE NEW LOOK AND BE
RENAMED THIS NEXT WEEK!
***THE ADDRESS WILL REMAIN http://holidayinthesun-becky.blogspot.com, but the name will be

Oh, that final photo!!!! It's just breathtaking,and I love it. I think it's great that you can still head out to enjoy the beach.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, I now feel the need to go grab some pringles that are in the pantry and try to make a duck face.
Truly. There is nothing better to me than the ocean. In the fall, it is spectacular. I'm thinking we need to pack up.....

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Becky, I love it when you blog about the beach because I know how much you lvoe it. Dunkin' Donuts are down there too? Holy Cow those folks have to be trillionaires! They make Starbucks look like slackers!
ReplyDeleteCheck my blog today or some sea shots, a seagull but not as cute as your Birdie) and other fun beachy stuff.
Love you, girl! Looking forward to your new look although I adore this one! Just loving to see what you will come up with next. God is so good to our eyes, isn't he? And the rest of us for that matter!
Oh I am so jealous. It was 29 degrees when I woke up this morning,
ReplyDeleteThe day warmed to 68 degrees.
I so enjoyed the pictures.
Have a great weekend.
Oh Becky! Thanks so much for the tour of the beach. Wish I were there too, but since I can't be I will just enjoy through you and your great photos.

ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of the beach! I am much, much to far away from any ocean at this time. The picture of the sunset is just beautiful. Have a wonderful week!
Valerie
It looks like so much fun and also so relaxing! I can even hear the sounds of the ocean! The sunset was amazing! I just can't get enough of beautiful sunset! hugs and warm smiles.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky ... thank you for taking me to the beach! A few years ago I was visiting at Dayton Beach ... sat several hours one day just listening to the sound of the ocean and watching the little sand pipers run back and forth. It was an amazing afternoon. The sunset picture is magnificent ... painted for us by Our Father. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeletebecky - the only way this could be any better would be if that dunkin donut coffee was from starbucks! hahaha! great pix - gotta love living in florida!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmm..........My sweet BECKY! What a beautiful day. I soooo love to be near the water, but here in the Pacific Northwest the weather doesn't always cooperate....but I still love it. And, what a beeeeutiful sunset. God is so amazing, isn't HE? How blessed we are.
ReplyDeleteHuggies to you dear one....
Spencer.... AKA Cupcake! xoxoxoxo

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the new look!

Good Morning Dear friend, I am so glad you got to get away, you have been working so hard. Your photos are beautiful, was that Maddie with the duck lips? if so, she is really growing up, Becky!!
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to your new blog look. I am needing some changes too, especially since I messed up big time on my blog. I have fought blogger for a while on their new design.
Thank you for always encouraging me.
Much love,
Sue
*sigh*. I get the same feelings--you brought back those memories--driving over the bridge and that first sight always takes my breath away--the sunset picture is incredible--
ReplyDeleteMy post today was snow--but we will escape this winter to drink up those sun rays dancing on the water--thank you for this remembrance which equals hope:)
