First Morning At The Beach

We arrived at the beach well after dark last night.  The ocean was loud from our balcony, but even the stars were not giving us enough light to give us a glimpse of her.

This morning I grabbed my camera before I grabbed my coffee and out on the balcony I went.  There was a very cold breeze blowing right through my flannel gown!!!  Yes, I did say flannel.   Oh hush - flannel can be romantic, can’t it???? 

Now, I have my coffee, some great “first morning” pictures, and a day of junking ahead of me!  I am a happy camper!

 

Here are the best shots of the morning.

I didn’t adjust this photo – camera was set on landscape.

 

 

 

??? Parked at the shoreline.

 

 

 

This vessel went flying by…thought the guys looked cold

 

 

 

 

Zoomed in and verified these guys are, indeed, cold!!!  The one on the right seems to have gone into a near fetal position!!! 

It was in the low 40’s.  I would be hunkered down more than muchkin’ man!!!

 

 

 

Today is Metamorphosis Monday.  There are lots more creative transformations at “Between Naps On The Porch”.

 

This is my backdoor view metamorphosis!!

Morning view on Sunday

 

 

Morning view today.

 

 

   

I am linking up to the “Outdoor Wednesday” party at “A Southern Daydreamer” on Wednesday!

  2. What wonderful photographs! Isn't the beach the most wonderful place??? I love it. And just seeing the water makes my heart peaceful. Loved seeing these shots. I would not, however, want to be on an open boat at 40 degrees. Brrrrrr! Too cold for my thin Florida blood...

    I hope you found some great deals out shopping! Sounds like fun.

    Happy Met Monday...

    XO,

  20. Okay one good wave bump and that person is a goner. There are no sides on the boat. Yikes.
    The ocean is always a perfect photo op.

  22. Hello Little Sister,
    We have truly enjoyed your great enjoyment of your fabulous finds. We expect to see something very similar soon--remember I have seashells galore! You are quite the photographer too--the first one is inspiring. We want to get on a little yellow boat in 40 degree wind and go fast too! Love you very~
