Morning flight

It was so peaceful this morning on the beach. Pelicans were cruising the tops of the waves and I wanted to join them to just skim the ocean in blissful flight.
Maybe in my dreams.
 

Summertime

Here it is the first full day of summer and my beach greeting was spectacular.
Unfortunately, since I still can't walk on my broken foot I have to get my vicarious thrill from watching other people enjoy the beautiful sunrise while walking at the edge of the placid surf.
 
Winds from the west make the mighty Atlantic look like a farm pond but I know this sleeping giant will awaken and even become angry so I'll enjoy the peacefulness while we have it. What a great start to summertime... welcome!




Going to work

How's this for a fabulous road to work?  A view like this one, complete with a sandy driveway right onto the beach is an absolutely perfect way to start any work day.
This year I have joined the Turtle Patrol where we monitor our beaches for the giant sea turtles, their nests, and in the not too distant future the hatchlings that will emerge and begin their journey in the sea.
It's not really work because I love the job even with its steep learning curve and a start like this one certainly helps with the attitude. Lucky me.

June at the Beach

Just because I can't walk very far on the beach doesn't mean I can't appreciate Mother Nature's clouds while there. June 1st and 2nd gave me some stunning formations to share with you. 
I didn't notice the hint of a prism's colors in the center of this first photo until I got it home. Lovely, just lovely.
Ahhhh, just being able to take in this beauty and strength is so necessary for my soul's well-being. I thank heaven for the privilege.
