Before the storm

A few days before the storm, the beach was deserted and only a couple of boats still in the water.

Seafoam

Reblogged from

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

How does sea foam form? Like filling up a bubble bath or steaming a latte, sea foam forms when certain molecules in the water are mixed until they’re frothy. In the ocean, DECAYING MARINE LIFE releases organic molecules, including proteins and fats, into the water. Some proteins and fats can act as SURFACTANTS.

 

After the fog

On Saturday, the fog cleared, and the sun came out.  Of course, I headed for the beach.

Another beach day

Went to the beach after work on Monday.  The clouds were coming in and looked very threatening.  The wind picked up and rain went around us.

Another beautiful beach day

May favorite and happy place is the beach.  Love the salt water on my skin and hair.  It is very healing and brings down your blood pressure.

 

View of beach from Magnolia Pier float

On Monday the skies were clear and blue.  Walking to Magnolia Pier and sitting on float was delightful.   The houses on the shore add to the view.

My happy place

This is the only way to end a workday.  The ocean is still a little chilly but to feel the salt on your skin and is worth it.

Afternoon walk on Magnolia Beach

After a workday, went for a nice walk on Magnolia Beach.  Non rain on Wednesday afternoon the sky was so pretty.

End of a beautiful April day

Shocking that I went to the beach on Monday.  Had to go and get out of the office.  The beach is not only my happy place, but also a healing place.

Another blue sunset

The sunset, especially as the weather changes, seemed to be a different color every night.

End of the day

On Monday we did not get any rain and only a little thunder. It was a pretty end of the day.

Swimming as the sun is going down

With the hazy skies due to the fires in Canada, the ocean looked very silvery.

Making memories of a hazy summer day

Love our salty kids who love the beach.  These kids have so much fun at the beach.  I say they are making memories as they are enjoying the ocean.

 

Beach weekend

So lucky and blessed to be able to walk to a beach and enjoy.   If you look at the photo with the float, there is a woman, whom by the way is a very funny person, she is blowing up the float.  She told me it takes her almost an hour.  Love the beach.
