Surf, Sea and Sand. . .

I decided to take a short ride to the beach the Monday after Hurricane Leslie rode up the Atlantic past the New Jersey shoreline.  What a spectacular day to take pictures!  The sun was low in the sky and there were patchy clouds floating above and the sand below making a most lovely frame for my photos.  The waves were really making a show as they rolled onto the shore.

Here I wrote the word BLESSINGS into the sand.
 The rough surf brought out the surfers and here is one just going out to meet up with his buddies already in the water.
All in all it was a wonderful day to visit the beach.  September is a special time here as the beaches are pretty much deserted with visitors going back to work and school. 
I haven't done much blogging in the past few months so I thought I'd share some pretty pictures with you today.  Also to let you know that I'm doing really well and all my tests are coming back with good results. PTL!

Great to hear from you, Jean. I love the photos. I think a beach out of season is such a wonderful thing.

I'm two weeks late reading this, but that's because I haven't been in Blog Land at all. Today, I'm taking my little flower cart down familiar paths and looking for friends.

So of course, I stopped here.

I am another one who loves a beach out of season. I love it more out of season than in season!

I'm glad you're still doing well, too.

I wish I could have been with you that day! It was a beautiful sky and surf. Great idea to write the word in the sand... you should visit the beach more often.

WINK WINK!
