It’s been warming up (although we have frost warnings in our forecast again!), and it’s time to turn our thought to the lovely sounds of sand on surf, or the lapping of water against the side of the kayak.
I love the water, and challenged to think about beaches, here are a few we’ve enjoyed…
“Who invited the pelicans?” Near Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara
Receding tide at Goleta Beach (suburban Santa Barbara), where we took our children regularly when they were little
A lava beach on Oahu
Churning surf on Oahu’s North Shore
The pitter patter of little feet – Waikiki Beach
A stony island beach on the Delaware River
I just don’t think there can really be a bad day at the beach!

Thanks! There is something about rivers… I don’t know why the Delaware has so many islands, but I’ve loved them since I was a child! 😉

Before I got to the end of your post, I was thinking just that. Never a bad day at the beach. But it takes talent to take a good shot, even at the beach. Nice!
