A New (old) Beach

When I first moved to Naples in 1981...um..YIKES...my favorite beach was Seagate. 
It was full of shells and not so full of people!

Now, it is just one long row of condos.  
It is very different up north than down south and I miss the old beach very much! 
I prefer my south end, which, despite soul-less mega-mansions, has a much more mellow feel. 
It was a wonderful walk down memory lane, though. 

Tonight was GORGEOUS and since it is still off season, the beach was fairly deserted 
but filled with people enjoying the beach.
A group sat on blankets with a young man strumming a guitar and singing.  
I have a feeling they were sending someone into the sea to spend eternity 
(which is exactly what I want as well).  
There were young people in kayaks, a dad and a kid on a paddle board, 
couple my age strolling had in hand (lucky!)

 I LOVE this gray green color-
I keep trying to find paint this color for my living room


 Rain in the Distance


Sea oats

I was very anti-social today.  I needed to be outside, but alone-so this was perfect!
I feel better and think I might grace the world with my presence tomorrow!

No Labor Monday

YAY!!  Two Mondays off in a row!  Of course I had to go the beach twice!
I have a thing for beach umbrellas...

That first step on to the beach
ALWAYS AWESOME!





and shells


Hope Your Weekend Was Labor Free and Fun Filled!

Friday Sanity Stroll

Well, it is Friday...what a day, what a week!  It called for Five Guys and a stroll on the beach :)

As I walked along, someone had put these shells on the stairs to a house-
I trespassed a little...


I have a really hard time with macros, but this was not too bad


I have to be honest-this one came home with me!

Some storm debris lodged in my pilings
(like how they are MINE now?)





I stayed on the beach until well after dark.  
Completely alone, knee deep in the water
So good for my soul...and heart...

And then I chased the blue moon
but
I never quite caught it

Have a GREAT, safe Labor Day Weekend!
