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!

Hurricane Party~Shore Bird Style!

During Issac Walk-well, sort of...

Issac was kind of a bust-which is fine by me!  

I have lived through several major storms and I really don't care if I never see another one!

Anywhoooo... I am now attending Celebration Church, which meets outside at Cambier Park. 

 It is AMAZING to attend services under a big old banyan tree and just be...

So of course I had to go down to the beach after church and see what was what...

The tide as still very far out and there was just a little kick to the waves.  

The storm was still hours and hours away.

There were many other people with cameras doing what I was doing 

and one of them placed the piece of sea plant there-

of course I took advantage :)

I found some other interesting stuff too

It was awesome...

Until the wind started blowing like bee stings onto my legs and I had to go home...

Pre-Issac Photo Walk

We are firmly in the Hurricane Zone here in Naples.  I went for a walk just to see what I could see.  The sea was flat, but the tide was VERY far out.  I walked as far south as a person can walk (OK, I was trespassing...just a little...)

This thing was about 14 inches across.  I have had one run-in with one before-

I do NOT care to repeat that experience!

This is where I trespassed-after i climbed down this...

I walked all the way to the end of the beach and sat and watched the boats go by...

  

These guys were NOT amused by me :)

 I ran into a "real" photographer doing the same thing I was doing along the beach.  I consider myself a picture taker, not a photographer.  I had SERIOUS camera envy...someday, maybe someday...

Hopefully Issac will not hit too hard.  Keep safe Naples, Keep Safe!

The Other Coast

 Boca Inlet, Boca Raton, FL

I dropped my youngest child off at college yesterday-

I don't care what anyone tells you, dropping them off at college is harder than birthing them!

So I went to the beach to keep myself from crying...

I am not a fan of the Atlantic Beaches in Florida am spoiled by Naples.

They are not only covered with natural "litter", there is a lot of the man made stuff too.

But this man made inlet was beautiful!

This one is just for fun!

A little graffiti and a part of the inlet

The Color

If I could only find this color for my walls...

Taking a Quick Walk...

I talked my girl into walking with me tonight.

I love talking with this child.  Since the moment of her birth, I have maintained she is an "old soul"-this is not her first trip on this rock.  It makes for really great conversation :)

Speaking of old souls-
