Penny made me do it. I’ve been concentrating on unpacking and catching up with the house since we got back from Canada. We are into our beautiful fall weather and almost every sunrise and sunset is at least pretty if not impressive. The sun also sets out over the water at the beach so it is a good time to take pictures. Tonight’s beach walk had many of the features I enjoy so come along with me and I’ll share it with you.
I went to my normal spot at the National Seashore. When I arrived there were only 2 other vehicles there so the beach was pretty well empty.
When I arrived at the beach there was a new addition. Someone had made a seat at the small dune at the entrance to the beach. It looked like a great place to sit and watch the sun set and to take pictures.
The temperature was just right and the beach was in-fact quite empty.
The tourist industry is hot this year and the first thing to see in the gulf is boats full of tourists and fisher people.
I was in the mood to take happy snaps of everything that popped up so this walk is well documented.
The sea oats are full of seeds and in their prettiest form.
Little sand crabs scampered into their holes ahead of me as I walked. One guy went the wrong way and got stuck in the open. He tried in vain to bury himself in seaweed but couldn’t. I picked him up and he just froze in my hand. I of course took his picture. It was more difficult than it sounds because he was in my right hand and my camera was off and the lens cover was on. Fortunately the crab stayed frozen in my hand while I fumbled left-handed and took the pictures.
of course there were birds.
and planes
and,of course, a sunset.
and I had another bird pose for me in the sunset.
The sunset was pleasant
Lots of people showed up for it
One last look before leaving.
The walk left me relaxed and refreshed. Penny did good by pushing me to go.
