A Day at the Beach

Beach at Ft. DeSoto
Sunlight glitters brilliantly on the calm waters of the Gulf.  Clear skies fill with birds, planes and parasailors.  It is still summer on the beach; umbrellas sprout like multicolored flowers across the sand.  Boats dot the horizon, fishing, sailing, working, relaxing.  Every day is a vacation, every night is a party.  Life's short, enjoy yourself.

  1. Beautiful photo. As it gets colder here in New England, that "vacationland" sounds better and better.

  6. I think you're just trying to win folks over by posting summery pictures and stuff just when things are cooling down.

    (Dang! Why didn't I think of that?)

    Nice 55, Linda!

  10. PattiKen- I'm familiar with New England, and expect it's already pretty chilly. I saw that it was 38 in my hometown this morning.

    Brian Miller- It was definitely beautiful!

    Claudia- I'm not sure where you are, but foggy and cold...brrrrr.

    Talon- Summer never lasts long enough! I was lucky to get a second helping.

    Sara- Thanks, we had a great time, and it was indeed lovely.

    Eric Alder- Did it work?

    Monkey Man- Ah, 60 deg. is not too bad for this time year. The warm sand is nice, though.

    G-Man- Just like getting the appetizer and no entree, eh? It was great fun, though.

    Hilary- Had a lot of fun. Sorry about the rain. :(

    Mona- Yes...Enjoy!
