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

  9. "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.

    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.

    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?

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

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

  63. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  64. 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,

  65. 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.

  77. 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. :-)
