The Pope has ended his holiday and is preparing his pilgrimage to Lourdes.
I'll speak about Lourdes in the next weeks.

beautiful beach. looks like it offers good waves for surfers!

Mojo said...

"Topsail" as in "Topsail Island?" or "Topsail Beach?" I know the place! That's a beautiful part of the coast. Some of the stories behind those dunes... not as pretty, but the beach is beautiful.

pretty and peaceful That shot makes it looks like the end of the summer in the North ---I am jealous we have summer till Oct

Greg Finnegan said...

Wonderful beach scene, Sandy. And it must be the slow time at the drive-in; there are no cars waiting in the on-beach parking places between the fences.

Ryanne said...

I have never heard of Topsail Dunes, but your picture of it makes me want to see it.

eastcoastlife said...

Sea oats!? They are beautiful, I can imagine them swaying in the breeze....

I just photographed my skywatch for Friday,it was gorgeous, and I will post it, but I won't be able to put my link up, because I'm not in the country! Will you visit me anyway?
I'll be in London for the weekend, looking for more treasures!

Princess said...

Julia Smith said...

Absolutely charming. As in sirenlike-call-to-the-sea. Who could resist the urge to head for the ocean after looking at this shot?

I LOVE this photo, Sandy. It just captures the right feeling of the beach. Excellent.

ARCHITECT said...

Randall said...

I love this photo. I've never seen the small fences on the beach here on the west coast. What are they for, to keep people from walking on sun bathers?

Linda Reeder said...

This is the look of high summer. It "feels" good.

Jan Parrish said...

Beautiful shot. Reminds me of when we lived in Norfolk, VA.

What a lovely photo Sandy. That's such a nice relaxing scene. Makes you want to kick off your shoes and get sand between your toes as you stroll along the beach.

storyteller said...

What a lovely ocean view … we don’t get ‘sea oats’ growing where I live … just Palm Trees planted originally to obscure the gradually disappearing (but popping up offshore) oil wells.
Hugs and blessings,

Princess Vien said...

Such a beautiful shot. You have such a good eye for beauty.

Grasses fascinate me. They are so alike, yet so diverse! And if studied closely, the intricacies of the seeds are amazing.

tonya said...

That's where I would love to be!
Happy WW!

Jim said...

Hi Sandy, are those oats edible? Your beach scene looks very relaxing and lonesome (sorta').
Hope your WW was happy, thanks for your nice comment, in actuality that nice smile belonged to Mrs. Jim and she wasn't riding a bicycle. :-)
