The cure for anything is salt water -- sweat, tears, or the sea.

The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach.

wow, looks like a fantastic beach, so are your shots!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beach scenes. My favorite sound is the crashing of the waves on rocky beaches. Love your header photo but why is there a penguin on a FL beach? THH!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures :-) Such serenity and balm for the soul to see these. Thank you so much for sharing. And you're absolutely right about the sea...there's nothing as soothing as sitting by the beach just watching/listening to the waves rolling...!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Day!
Eva
wonderful beach pics! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing photos, Sandra. Makes me want to visit the beach. Thinking of you and keeping you in my heart/prayers.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are beautiful. Since I live far away from any natural beach,I really appreciate seeing these.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I've never seen a beach sand pattern like the first photo. Is it typical always or at certain times?
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
I too love the beaches!!! In fact, that is where I'm headed in just a few minutes...right after I catch up on my bloggin' visits.
ReplyDeleteSHADOWS AND SUMMARIES is a link to my newest post for the day! Hope you can find time to view...and, have a super glorious Sunday!!!
Beautiful......
ReplyDeleteI so miss being able to get to a beach...

i love the 3rd shot. really dreamy.
ReplyDeleteWOW! They're all beautiful. Love the dunes at Desota the best!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the beach, Sandra. Makes me want to go back!!!!! George took alot of dune pictures this time. I'll share some soon --and I'm sure that he will also.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Oh My Sandra all we see on the pictures are horizontal patterns...maybe we'll go out and come back to see if maybe they didn't load.
ReplyDeleteMom loves sand in her toes too though.
Hugs Madi and Mom
The fourth shot caught my attention. Amidst the sand and the green are the two small, yellow flowers that makes it picture perfect! God bless :)
ReplyDeleteI love it when you show photos of the beach. These are beautiful. 5 stars, Sandra!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love the beach and this year I crave the beach!
ReplyDeleteSandra, not sure if it was the result of Playtime, but the dunes are my favorite in this beach series.
ReplyDeleteYay, we have a penguin in Florida! THH! Love all these photos Sandra! The dunes and the flowers are so pretty! When I was a teen the beach was my favorite getaway. :)
ReplyDeleteThese pictures do a great job of showing your love of the beach. All of them are simply fantastic. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteHey Sandra...still seeing horizontal stripes but when I click on one of them I get thumbnails at the bottom so I was able to finally see them...
ReplyDeleteLOL What in the world is up with that. I had some of Madi's toys marinating in catnip...maybe I inhaled too much.
Hugs Cecilia
Beautiful Sandra I envy you being so close to such beauty
ReplyDeleteThey are all just wonderful, but my favorite shot is the 3rd one of the dunes with the fluffy clouds in the sky!
ReplyDeleteSandra I have never seen a beach that looks like the beach sand in the top two pictures. How does that work? And how did that penguin get there? Love, sandie
ReplyDeleteI love the beach too!
ReplyDeleteThat 3rd one has me mesmerized. Postcard quality!!
The sand on gulf beaches is so fine and white compared to our course darker sand. I love the name beer-can beach.
ReplyDeletecheers
A good mix of quotes and photographic evidence of their truth about the sea.
ReplyDeleteOk now you're just being a tease....lol I want to go hang out at the beach. I love that shot of the dunes. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images!!! I have never seen a shoreline like the one in the first few pictures, it is not a smooth transition.
ReplyDeleteI do so love the art in each of your pictures. What beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe DUNES photo looks just like a painting. Beautiful set of images.
ReplyDeleteI do love a beach too although I haven't been to the sea for a number of years now. Wow-wow-wow for that photo of Dunes at Fort DeSoto Beach, it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to go through and not comment on all...so far behind and there are several of the blogs I follow that I just must see what I have missed...anyway, just have to say I LOOOOVVVVEEE some of these shots.
