Ivan may have left damage, but the seashore is as beautiful as ever. After almost 6 years I still marvel at the colors of the water and the sand every time I look out onto the Gulf.
The sea oats are blooming and the sun turns them golden as they sway in the late afternoon light.
It's a wonderful place for a day at the beach with family, or...

Sea breeze, smell of sun and sand, slightly swaying sea grass. So enticing!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Love the sea oats and tall grasses.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog. Of course, I checked out your site and I love your floral pixs. Nice to see another Florida perspective.
I don't know how you're surviving without cold coffee or chai lattes on hot summer days. Isn't there some little coffee stand besides the now-closed Starbucks?
