With the storm passing by I thought it would be an excellent chance for some good photos. The storm did not let me down. My camera is a simple Kodak digital point and shoot. It's my only digital camera. Someday, I'd like to upgrade. But you can take good photos with a simple camera.
It was quite breezy and hot and the waves were more rapidly approaching than they were high, though they were high enough. There were quite a few people at the beach. Not like there'll be today, though, or this July 4th weekend. Having a swimming pool in my backyard, I don't frequent the beach as much as I would if I didn't have one. But, the beach is a special place, as these photos suggest. I must go there more often.
 |
| Passing through the sand dunes to reach the beach is like a rite of passage. It always raises my sense of expectation. |
 |
| Then you step out onto the beach, and there it is. |
 |
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
(John Mansfield, 'Sea Fever')

| Need to rest for a moment on the path to...? |
 |
| There are some beautiful homes here. |
 |
| Want to meditate for a while, while looking at the rising sun? |
 |
| Van Gogh would have loved this place... |
 |
| and this place too. |
I hope you enjoyed looking as these photos as much as I did taking them.
